Student Responses to Review Topic: Food And Dining

    There is Gee Dining Hall and Sandella's. Sandella's is a flatbread cafe-ish thing in the student center where you can use Flex Dollars. Gee is the general dining hall. It's not bad, but it's not good. Some days are better than others. It's a cafeteria. They do serve freshly made omelets at Sunday brunch though, so that's a plus. It really just depends on the day.

    Gee Dining Hall & Sandalas provide good food. Gee does a good job with a different variety in food. The food is pretty tasty as well.

    Converse dining is very nice for the most part. You can find problems at any place you eat in the world, but Converse tries their best to provide as many options at every meal as possible.

    The food is not fantastic, but it is better than a lot of college cafeteria food that I have tried. Plus, the meal plan is included in your tuition.

    The food is pretty good. You can either eat in the dining hall or another restaurant on campus Sandella's I really enjoyed wing night. In the dining hall it is all-you-can eat.

    The food is relatively okay. There is a salad bar and there are usually choices to choose from. The desserts are always good and their is always ice cream so beware the freshman 15.

    Food and dining services are quite appealing but sometimes, students wish they were at home because no matter how tasty a food is or one tries to make the food, it can not be compared to home made food. Some times, provision of the kind of foods students need are not provided.

    Nonexistent. Visit Wofford for that. However some people feel that Converse is like one big sorority, being a women's college and all that.

    There is no Greek life at this college.
