  • “DVC is an awesome commuter school, but housing isn't much. Across the street is Camelback apartments and is where most of the international students stay. …”

    Food is alright, and pretty typical of what you find at a 7-11. The Nord Cafe here though, which is run by the Culinary program, is outstanding and worth checking out a few different times to enjoy a slice of excellent quality food at a fairly reasonable price.

    There is a culinary program here that is quite good, they serve food in the quad that is really yummy. There is also a cafeteria and Starbucks. It is also fairly close to many places to eat off campus.

    Diablo Valley College has a cafeteria where it has a variety of foods that are package or some where food servers can prepare and make the food. there are soft drinks, coffee, juices, and water. Sometimes when the weather permits, the students in the culinary class cooks food outside and then sales the delicious food to other students. There is a restaurant next to the cafeteria also run by the culinary class and there is Peet's Coffee in the book store and in the student union is also where you can buy food and drinks.

    Food at DVC is good it can be a little expensive. The bookstore food is expensive as well even though it does have a variety of snacks to choose from.

    The cafeteria does not excite the common student but there are various places that offer wonderful food. Chinese BBQ in the west side, culinary showcases and sales in the east side, and good ole' Pete's Coffee in the Bookstore (central).

    Non-existent, as this is a community college, with the exception of the Honor society, who has taken greek letters to represent themselves.
