    It's mixed sometimes the food can be great and sometimes the food is really bad. The Fens Cafeteria is much better than Bartol Hall.

    Bartol Dining Hall, is where you'll eat most of your meals and the staff are always extremely kind and will know you by your name. They'll even remember your favorites.

    The food is good, and there are always healthy and creative options to be had. Just watch out, the icecream bar is always open and really hard to pass up. It's an easy way to gain your freshman 15.

    The food at Bartol Hall is buffet style, not the healthiest or tastiest stuff around. The food at the Fens dining area is pay per item style and offers varieties for the meat eaters, vegetarians, and even vegan.

    The food at Simmons is great. They even prepare your own menu if you want. Also, there are many local restaurants. You will find what you love to eat here.

    If you're a picky eater, dining can be difficult, but one could say that about any college dining hall. On the residential campus, the dining hall is a buffet that changes up its options every day, but they always have cereal, bagels and bread, and a fresh salad bar. They also have a gluten free section and they cater to vegetarians and vegans very well (which comes from a reliable source, considering I am a vegan). Sometimes if there's going to be a long weekend where the dining hall will be closed, or if it's getting toward the end of the semester, they'll start slacking and repeating meals, but that's only on occasion. I'm not a picky eater and I love our dining hall. The dining on the academic campus isn't buffet-style and they're not as good, in my opinion, but it's OKAY for when you have a late class or something.

    Currently, on our campus, there is no Greek Life. However, recently there has been some initiative to start sororities on campus.If you really want to join a sorority/fraternity, there are some intercollegiate groups that reach out to Simmons students. As with everything else here, if you want it, you can find it.
