What Students Are Saying

RWU's food has been highly rated as one of the nation's best for many years! The food is delicious.
T from Stoughton, MA
There are plenty of things to do. Yeah a lot of kids party but public safety has started to crack on them. The RIPTA takes you directly to Providence or Newport.
Kerri
The best food in the Northeast!
Gabriella from Middletown, CT

Several meal plan options

The food is excellent, and the chefs are always accommodating when it comes to allergies, and other things that involve food.
Shelbie from Westerly, RI
YUM and voted number 1.... that's all that needs to be said.
All the food is freshly made and delicious. There are unlimited options and they do a very good job of changing around and rotating food so it doesn't get boring. They serve fresh fish all the time (I've had stuffed quahogs, lobster bisque, lobster, salmon, fried calamari, scallops, shrimp...) and have a vegetarian bar every day so vegetarians never need to worry about eating. They are also very accommodating when it comes to allergies and gluten free.
Rachel from Durham, CT
The food here is fantastic. Every weekend they have make your own omelets, and for lunch and dinner everyday you can make your own buritos, quesadillas, and stir fry. They have plenty of options for those that are vegetarians and vegan. Also, everything is offered gluten free.
