    I hear from the dormers that the menu becomes redundant after a while. However, the vending machines are the best I have ever seen. Full lunches and exotic coffees....

    The food is not great and gets old fast. There are always options like salad bar, pasta and making your own sandwiches.

    Okay. The cafe has good and bad days. Its no home-cooked meal by a long shot, but that is most college campuses. Also, we are always begging for better hours.

    The dining is very accommodating to students with special diets. It's great buffet style breakfast, lunch and dinners make sure the students get exactly the kind of meal they want whether the student just wants a bagel, or a pasta dinner, the options are limitless. They are also very considerate of people that are lactose intolerant, vegetarian/vegan which is important for me as a vegetarian.

    The quality of food is definitely better than at other colleges, but there are sometimes really odd options for dinner. Be ready to eat lots of cereal/sandwiches.
