    The food at Hampshire is pretty bad and there's only one dining hall which closes way too early and often leads to students getting hungry at 10pm with no options. The Bridge, the school's cafe, is better, but not that good. The food comes from Sodexo, a company that also provides food to prisons as well. However, Hampshire does have more vegan and vegetarian options than most other schools.

    Hampshire has fresh fruits and vegetables from the farm, gluten free and vegan options! However, I would not say the food is always super delicious.

    A downside of dorm life is that you are restricted to the single dining commons known as SAGA. It's decent in that it's pretty consistent, but that consistency is meh and it's not particularly health-conscious. It's just a little boring and repetitive after awhile, but there's always cereal and salad. There are also wok's that students can use to create stir fry, lunch specials, and a panini press. There are often a few vegan options and always gluten free options as well.

    The food in the dining hall (SAGA) sucks. You'll get through it, though. Anyone living in the dorms is required to have a full meal plan with SAGA. Farm shares are available to students living in the mods, and you can be on a partial meal plan in the mods if you wish, or you can have no meal plan.

    Many students complain about the cafeteria at hampshire though honestly it isn't quite that bad. There is a lot of fresh vegetables that come straight from the hampshire farm and always the option of making stir fry, salads, wraps and sandwiches if the meal of day isn't your cup of tea.

    The Dining Commons wears on you. I was kind of digging it for the first two weeks but not so much after that. Actually, one of the reasons most people say they want to move from the dorms to the mods is because the dining common food is so bad and expensive...

    There is no greek life on campus, which is actually something I find to be a positive aspect of Hampshire because we are all such different people that come together with no need for a greek life.

    HA. That doesn't exist here. The closest thing we have to a frat is Frisbee Mod. (A mod is an on-campus house.) Don't be misled, there's plenty of drinking and usually parties. However, as someone told me the first time I visited, no one wants to get you drunk but you. Meaning there's minimal pressure to partake and no one's gonna be handing out free booze.
