What Students Are Saying

Our dining services aren't spectacular honestly, but the local food and dining in Saranac Lake (15-20 mins away) is amazing! There are several restaurants that offer affordable, local, organic food that is absolutely delicious. The natural food store in town (Nori's has the hook up). Some students don't mind the dining hall food at all (I have been called a food snob), so you should check it out at least -- you might think it's just fine. But if you don't like it, don't worry -- good food is not far away!

As stated before, make friends with the baking students and their chefs and they will feed you crazy well! Otherwise, the culinary kids don't usually share their amazing food (because there's so little of it to go around) and the food in the dining hall is, to be honest, quite a bit less than stellar. Be sure to ask mom and dad for plenty of care packages, snack food goes quick up here!
