student quote Hello Alex, Everything is going great here at Johnson and Wales.  It is the best time of my life - better than anything I had expected.  I am learning so much about a subject that I love - food, and I have some great friends. I am involved in a lot of student activities such as the Collegiate Ambassadors Team (CAT) and different catering events. It was the best decision to come here.  Wendi Reed, Granada Hills, CA | Culinary Arts '08, Denver Campus
