What Students Are Saying

excellent! you won't complain.
Christa from Lynchburg, VA
the main dining court, shafer, is not horrible, but it's not great either. however, there are tons of small business restaurants all over that are fairly cheap and really good. my advice is to skip shafer and spend your money on the local cuisine.
