    Food is okay, there is a large dining hall that has salads/wraps/and hot foods. There is also a food center where you can get grill options and a convenience store.

    The food in the dining hall isn't bad, and the buffet style is a bit easier on the wallet. There are also great options at the grill and Subway as well.

    They offer lots of choices for food and you can usually always find something to eat and that means a lot coming from me because I can be a bit picky.

    The food is good for the most part. The cafe has wide variety of foods to chose from. And some food lines change on a daily basis whereas other lines stay consistent. The best part about the cafe is it is all you can eat. Food is a commodity and currency in college, it is never taken for granted.

    Unfortunately for those of you that want sororities and fraternities, Western New England University does not allow those on its campus.
