    Ew. They try, but fail. The commons food is over-priced, over-cooked, and unhealthy. I hated that I was required to spend $2000 on a meal plan for that crap and then had a ton of money left over at the end of the semester to buy bulk with.

    Food is not horrible, but there isn't a lot to choose from at the college. Due to the location, there is a lot of different restaurants and grocery stores in the area

    Way too EXPENSIVE!!!! If you can, always bring a lunch or buy from the many restaurants around campus, although the food is good but just not worth spending the little amount of money college students have.

    Andre is a great chef and offers great meals, the commons also has many different options to choose from. If living on campus you choose from 3 meal plans, I would suggest option 2 if planning on eating a lot in commons. Otherwise there are many great food options off campus that are very nearby.

    They have a couple different options for food and dining. The commons is located in the school and that is where most students dine. There are many different options to choose from so one shouldn't get bored while eating here. There is also a coffehouse located in Austin Hall which sells delicious beverages of all sorts and food.

    GREAT food. Alverno had a lot of healthy stuff and good junk stuff if you really like! They have a coffee place on campus and other vendings around. Occassionally they have groups that cook food such as french, mexican, etc.

    The cafeteria offers many choices. There are the basic snacks, like chips, soda, cookies, and nachos. Then, for breakfast there are muffins, eggs, bacon, pancakes, waffles, oatmeal, fresh fruit, yogurt, and more. During lunch and dinner there is a build-your-own sub bar, salad bar, and grill station that serves made-to-order burgers, paninis, fries, and tenders. In addition to that, there is an entree of the day that differs for lunch and dinner, ranging from fish to pasta to stir-frys. There is also a coffeehouse that serves custom drinks from Alterra Coffee, such as frappes, mocha, and smoothies.

    We have two sororities, contact someone in them and decide if you want to join, it's a big part of college you don't want to miss out on.

    There are a couple but there are also off campus ones that you can choose from as well. There isnâ??t specific housing for Greek life that I know of.
