    Food and Dining at Western is impeccable. There are several different places to eat as well as buy snacks all throughout campus. The dining hall is a great place to meet and to get to know people.

    The dining hall provides good options (though it can get a little repetitive), and definitely have options for those who like to eat vegetarian or vegan.

    There are several vegan and vegetarian options as well as gluten free. The Fairhaven Dining hall is probably the best and has the most healthy options, however there is always standard junk food like pizza and burgers as well to suit your cravings.

    On campus food is OK. The dining hall has a lot of variety but when it comes to on-campus restaurants, you're limited to Subway, Starbucks, and a pizza place named Topio's unless you're at the Viking Union.

    The food at Western is good. In the dining hall the food options rotate every day, so naturally some days are better than others. I'd give the dining hall food a satisfactory rating.
