    The food gets kind of repetitive, but if you dont eat the same thing for breakfast, lunch, and dinner the food is not that bad.

    I love the subs at the MassArt cafeteria. The new cafeteria at Wentworth isn't bad, but I love the atmosphere at MassArt more. (MassArt and Wentworth cafeterias are welcome to students of both schools, as well as MCPHS students, because they are part of the Colleges of the Fenway.)

    I have heard very bad things about the food here, but it seemed pretty alright to me, albeit maybe a little confusing considering weekend scheduling and stuff. I'm not sure yet.

    Dinning hall food, is dining hall food. Your in the middle of Boston, if you want a break from it you can literally walk 5 minutes in any direction and have something amazing.

    Could be better, what do you expect? It's college food. Overpriced for the quantity and quality you get. The only thing that saves them in this department is that the chefs are pretty open to what you want to have.

    Wentworth's menu has grown since the addition and renovation of its buildings. The cafeteria has undergone major changes and now serves a better selection of food from fried specials to daily pizzas and chicken wraps.

    The dining on campus is so-so, but you also have access to the other Colleges of the Fenway (Simmons, Emmanuel, Wheelock, MCPHS, and MCAD). Boston itself has great food, and plenty of it nearby.
