I truly love this school and it will and always be the only school I want to attend. It is hard to find a school you feel this way about when deciding your future so take the time to visit and check out what the campus has to offer. There's always events and clubs for everybody, and tons of opportunities to receive help on any task.

I was always told JWU had a good reputation in the restaurant industry, I have come to find out it has just the opposite. JWU is a terrible school and I wish i would have never attended. When I tried to transfer out I learned almost none of my credits would transfer because it is a private school.
