Student Responses to Review Topic: Food And Dining

    The cafeteria is where Fordham is lacking. The food is overpriced and underwhelming. However, we are right above Hell's Kitchen so there's not much need to eat in the cafeteria often.

    Fordham University Rose Hill is located in the Bronx on Fordham Road with several food and dining options. Fast food, diners, you name it.

    People complain about the caf often. Some is warranted - it has bad hours, repetitive options, and a lack of creativity. But quality of food itself is consistently decent, and the basics like salad and cereal and pasta are always available.

    The Cafeteria provides a small selection of food to eat including: fruit cups, coffee/tea, sandwiches and salads. There are also vending machines in the cafeteria and two on each floor of the building.

    Many people talk about how bad college food is, but personally I enjoy what Fordham has to offer. There a lot of different options at every meal, and very friendly staff serving you!

    The cafeteria isn't the best place to eat due to a lack of variety but they've been improving and there's going to be a new company next year that will be providing food, so there's potential for improvement. There are other places to eat on campus, such as subconnection and the grill that are fairly decent.

    It's worst element, and everyone knows it. There's no getting around it as a freshman since a meal plan is required, but after that, you're best learning how to cook.

    Fordham was recently rated for having the worst food in the country. Honestly, food is food, but there isn't much of a choice when it comes to variety.

    There is no Greek life, but i prefer it that way. It allows every student to feel apart of the community instead of just those in the Greek life. There are plenty alternatives to having fun on this campus!
