Sophomore: I enrolled at Johnson & Wales University with a specific focus on their renowned food department, drawn by their exceptional reputation in culinary education. As the university was located out-of-state for me, I took advantage of their provided dormitory accommodations. I was fortunate to be assigned a spacious room, which I shared with a roommate. The initial experience of navigating through my classes was admittedly overwhelming, prompting thoughts of an immediate transfer. However, as time progressed, I found myself developing a strong affinity for most of my instructors, including the skilled chefs who imparted their expertise. Although there was a minor hurdle posed by a small, challenging group of classmates, I persevered through the situation, emerging with valuable lessons in adaptability and resilience....

Sophomore: Providence college is a great place to be! After transferring in this past fall I have enjoyed many aspects of the College. The atmosphere is welcoming and everyone really cares. On thing to note is our sayings "Friars hold doors" or "Friars give back" which really just shows the care people have for each other at the school. As for professors, they have been great thus far. They are willing to help when you need it, and overall truly care with how everyone does in their classes. They have made themselves easily available for the extra help that I have needed. Providence College's campus is beautiful. What is great about it is not only that it is clean and kept nice, but you can also walk to everywhere you need to get to easily. As for social life, I found it easy to make friends as many people are super friendly and have similar interests as me. Which you can find easily due to the many clubs here on campus....

The faculty and staff at BCC have been incredibly supportive, providing guidance and resources to help me navigate my academic journey.In terms of changes, it would be fantastic to see further expansion of the campus facilities and resources to accommodate the growing student population. Additionally, increasing the availability of specialized workshops and seminars tailored to nursing majors would greatly enhance our learning experience.
