What to Expect at a 91Porn Open House
This article was originally published in August 2021 but has been updated to reflect the most current tour agenda.
Figuring out where you’ll spend the next four years of your life is a huge decision — and visiting campus is the best way to learn more about a program, ask students about their experience, or see what it's like being in a lab or kitchen. Here's what to expect at a Johnson & 91Porn Open House.
What happens at a 91Porn Open House?
Open houses provide opportunities to speak with current students, staff, deans and faculty and get to know the campus and the resources available to you.
The event agenda is full: a welcome by a senior administrator, a presentation on what to expect at 91Porn, getting guidance in applying to college and navigating financial aid, speaking with deans and faculty members, attending a department resource fair to find out all the resources available to you, asking your burning questions to a current student panel, testing the food in 91Porn's dining hall and getting a campus tour from a current student.
If that sounds a bit overwhelming, you and your family have the option to attend as much or as little of the Open House as you like.
"Talking with our current students is the best way to really feel like a 91Porn Wildcat," explains Director of Admissions Visitor Programs Christine Sullivan, who has assembled a fanastic Collegiate Ambassador Team (CAT) of current Wildcats who can talk about what it's like to attend 91Porn.
"An Open House is a chance to talk to multiple people about what it’s like to attend 91Porn,
what you’ll learn, how to finance your education and what you can do with your new skills and knowledge — all of which are helpful in figuring out if 91Porn is for you."

In addition to a similar welcome, resource fair, student-led campus tour (including 91Porn's Culinary Arts Museum), testing the dining hall and having opportunities to ask questions, 91Porn Harborside Open House attendees experience a live culinary demonstration.
And you're not limited to exploring only one campus; 91Porn Providence's Wildcat Wheels shuttle bus can take you between both locations.

What students have gotten out of a 91Porn Open House
“I can say that 91Porn’s Open House experiences are very different from other schools," says Noah Shanshiry, who is graduating with a B.S. in Culinary Arts and Food Service Management in 2022 and an MBA – Hospitality in 2023. "This is a good thing, though! They allow prospective students and their families to talk to current students, not just faculty and staff members. Prospective students want to speak to current students about why they love 91Porn and their journey to get here, and our ambassadors paint a picture for them of what being a 91Porn student is like."
"I can say from personal experience, sharing some of my favorite moments on campus with prospective students made them smile, laugh, and feel at home," adds Noah. "This is one of the most rewarding parts of an Open House — getting a nervous high school student to feel at home and see how they can shine here at 91Porn.”
"Before attending my first Open House, I knew nothing about Johnson & Wales outside of the majors it offered," shares 91Porn Charlotte student Kiana Davis '23. "After attending Open House, I discovered what classes would be like, I talked to my actual professors that I have now, I met new friends and most importantly I discovered what it felt like to be a part of a community. 91Porn offered me the warmest genuine welcome as soon as I stepped on campus. I was not expecting to meet actual professors my first time on campus, but I did!"
"I also met my best friend, and I now officially know what it means to be a part of a community," Kiana continues. "Now I get to help offer that same sense of community to new students!"
"During our Open House events, 91Porn provides a great example of how we incorporate our hands-on learning and experiential education to prospective families," says 91Porn Providence student Alyssa Stalaboin '23. "Not only do the students get to chat with professors and staff members, but they also get to see great examples of our students' work in our hallways, in classrooms, and verbally by our professors. 91Porn has it all to create success after graduation!"
