Providence Accepted Students Days
Welcome to JWU!
Join the Wildcat family in the Grand Ballroom of the Omni Hotel for a celebratory luncheon with faculty, staff and current students.
Following the luncheon, Wildcat Wheels will transport you and your family to campus for next steps with Life on Campus, Student Financial Services and Orientation — as well as Wildcat chit-chat with current students.
Meet faculty, student leaders and other members of the incoming class in a fun-filled day of activities. Complimentary Valet Parking will be provided for the luncheon; please bring the valet ticket to the JWU registration table upon arrival.

Campus Information
More than 30,000 college students live in Providence, around 5,000 of whom attend JWU. It’s also home to artists, professionals, leaders, and innovators, making it a culturally diverse urban experience.
The city has more restaurants per capita than any other city, many of which were founded and staffed by our graduates.
Providence is home to our original campus, founded in 1914, and is the largest of the university’s campuses in size and enrollment. It’s actually composed of two separate campuses, Downcity and Harborside, both of which offer unique experiences that are still distinctly JWU.
After your Accepted Students Day, take some time to explore the city and find out why so many JWU students love calling Providence their home!
