    The food is very expensive for a student budget. The Norfolk campus has a student center with eateries just for the students but there is hardly anything you can get under $5. I mostly bought snacks and rarely bought meals. Although it was expensive the food was very good, but you don't get much for your money. Even at the other campuses that didn't have student centers the vending machines are very highly priced. I bought a lunch from home everyday.

    The fact that there is no dorm life leaves you with no cafeteria. Vending machines are placed in abundance throughout the campuses though. I can recall quite often having fair type settings where you could purchase food made by students.

    Non-existent. TCC Portsmouth has a vending machine and that's it. They could at least install a coffee counter or something.

    There is always free food found around campus if you pay attention. Also, within the next year our new Student Center shall be opened and the cafeteria will be reopened.

    At the Norfolk campus there are some good restaurants in the area that are reasonably priced; on campus though all you will find is vending machines.

    The food is great in the school. I love bagel brothers they have for students to eat at. Sometimes the school will give you points towards your dining if you are great in the academics. The school prepare the food in a safe way so that is also a plus!
