    When I went there in the 90's, it was good in the area of food & dining. I have just started back there for my masters degree and have not eaten there as of yet.

    A few options are given to students for dining but all of which are excellent choices. The cafeteria has a daily salad bar, pizza and pasta station, deli station, home cooked meals, and a show cookery where students can try something new. Also, two cafes are located on campus where flex dollars can be used.

    Alvernia has dining areas in almost every building. This is useful for when classes are close together, and there is no time to go to the opposite side of campus. There is also a variety of choices, including healthy choices.
