    You have to meet Maria! She is the heart and soul of all things food at Westfield State. She's worked hard to give students the best and widest variety of options. We have an area specifically gluten free, and area specifically with vegan options, as well has having a wide variety of options for students without dietary restrictions.

    There is a wide variety of food offered for every meal and two specials each day, which are usually very good quality. The daily meal options (pasta, cheeseburgers, etc) aren't as fresh as the special meals so those options get old after a while.

    Dining commons food is very repetitive, but the food is usually good. Other food options on campus (such as Subway and Dunkin' Donuts) have great service and good food.

    The food provided by Sodexo is phenomenal! they have so many selections to choose from and once you enter, you can have as much food as you want. There is even a restaurant, Pandini's that is open later for those who could not grab dinner earlier, or they just want something good to eat late at night. the Cafe is very clean, and you will get speedy service.

    We do not have Greek organizations on campus. However, if you are interested in a sorority or fraternity, there are schools within a close radius of Westfield, such as American International College or University of Massachusetts, Amherst, that will provide that do pledge others

    . . . You have to be invited and an honer student to get into it. I was invited my last year, but I ripped up the paper. It wasn't worth it because some of the people in the club think that it gives them the right to walk on water or whatever.
