    It should be noted that Johnson & Wales does NOT guarantee on-camus housing for all students beyond the first year. This year (2007) the college overbooked admissions and on-campus housing placements and was unable to offer housing to a considerable number of freshman, who were unceremoniously informed that would have to seek expensive and distant off-campus housing in the city. Most of these apratments have no security, none of the basic needs like Internet access, and they are often located in unsafe parts of the city. The college refers to this push away from the school as a 'maturing' process. Students are placed ona wait list for on-campus rooms based on a lottery that takes into consideration their grade level and cumulative GPA - which means struggling students may be at an academic disadvantage.
