    I've always liked the food. They always listen to advice and try to find out what you like or want to see in the dining halls. One of ours just got a huge upgrade.

    Ade is awful but powell is awesome. Ade doesn't care if you are a vegetarian and they rarely are serving. Also their dishes are zero percent functional. Powell always has something yummy plus Tuesday is taco day.

    Just recently the school upgraded one of the two dining halls. It looks very modern and has that cyber cafe feel. The food is already set in bowls/on plates and ready for you to pick up. The down side to this is that you can't serve your self, but the up side is that you can get up and get more like and all you can eat buffet.

  • Jul-25-2012 I am researching this school and have visited the campus

    I ate dinner while I was there and my host (who was but far the nicest person I've ever met) made it a point to warn me about the food. Apparently it won some of the Worse campus foods or something and they sometimes had thing on the menu that was meant only for the pregnant and starving to the point of obliviousness. ... But I tasted the food and it was fine. Really - it was totally average. And it was also pretty clean. Plus the entire place is covered in awesome student made artwork (but I'm weird so mind me not for that comment...).

    There are limited options, but what is available is reasonable and should suit a wide variety of pallets.

    HORRIBLE! When something is listed as vegan -DON'T BELIEVE IT! Furthermore, if something is listed as vegetarian, ask every question in the book. There was an incident that has occurred twice now with a Sheppard's pie that was listed as vegan, but was admittedly filled with ground beef and cheese. When asked to take the sign down that said vegan, they refused to.
