    The Dion Center is where the dining center is located, which is undergoing a huge transformation and is being upgraded. The food at the Dion is good, always something different for everyone each day. Normally there is a pizza bar, pasta bar, home cooked meal, deli bar, and a station that changes from omelets, stir fry, tacos, anything.

    The food has improved drastically since my freshman year. Although some days you may struggle to find something good, there are always pizza and sandwiches. Currently the Dion is undergoing renovations, and it is looking like it may improve even more. The staff is always looking to hear feedback about what food is good and not, so speak your mind!

    Our cafe which we call the Dion center has pretty good food and meal times but we are working on getting a better selection of food. We recently got more gluten free meals requested by some students. We also have a kiosk in the library that many students buy food and snacks from all the time. And if you go there you will wuickly get to know karen who works there!

    In my opinion, the food here is excellent! There are so many options with their buffet layout made even better with the availability of specialized personal options made available by chefs on site. Pricing is very reasonable, even if you don't have a meal plan.

    The food is usually pretty good. There is a different meal every day. Everyday there is fresh deli, pasta, pizza, vegetables, fruit, dessert, a salad bar and more. The campus cafe in the library has lots of snacks and drinks, too.
