    The food and dining is excellent. The cafertia provides some of the best food that could ever be served.

    The School Cafeteria does not stay open late it closes early and if you do not eat by 7:45 you can't go in the cafeteria. You have to go to the Hawk's nest but it be too crowded. The food in the school cafeteria has laxative in it.

    Everyone complains about the food, the cafe has it's good and bad days. But we are definitely one of the schools who gives the most options.

    One of the things about living on campus besides the activities is the food. There are always many different choices of food, but for the most part there will always be something that you will like anytime of the day. And there are off campus places to dine and eat in.
