Why would JWU rent space when they can get free real estate anywhere else from this city.

Because whoever moves into that space needs to make a profit and with JWU’s Free labor through culinary and business students, they are a viable tenant

Um you realize they don’t just point at land and poof a building appears? They have to buy land, pay to develop it, build, maintain, etc.

JWU’s economic impact is quite strong. They are tax exempt as a university just as any university across the country is along with all churches, non-profits, etc.

I love when people villainize Rhode Island’s schools though.

JWU is significantly cheaper than PC, Bryant, etc.

So yeah, cry me a river that you chose to b*itch about the school that is offering an affordable education for Rhode Islanders.
