    Two on-campus dining halls are available for all students on campus. With unlimited points on every student's meal plan, feel free to visit as many times as your heart desires. And trust me, you will come back for more!

    I personally don't have a huge problem with their food, but I do know that most people do not enjoy the food served in the dining halls. While I recognize that it's certainly not the best food, it's definitely edible and let's face it, it is very convenient not to have to cook your own food. Tip: Emerson dining hall is slightly better then Chase so if you're living on lower campus and are up for the walk (it's a small campus it's really only like a 5 minute walk tops) I highly recommend going there. Tip: You get something called Lyons bucks each semester (about $33 worth) which you can use at the cafes on campus if you're looking for something different. Note - Lyons bucks carry over from fall to spring semester so don't feel like you have to use them all at once, although most people do. Note - Out of the two cafes the one in the new science center is definitely the best!

    The dining hall has to be the only really negative part about Wheaton. The cooked food is bland and cheap tasting. With the cost of tuition, you should expect a better mean plan.

    Honestly, the food can be better quality and healthier. One good thing is that chase is open until 12am, which is helpful when it comes to tight schedules. The deserts are great, but the food in general can improve.

    Although the food there is not super, it's better than most of the other colleges I visited and has plenty of options around campus, although some of them are rather expensive.

    There are multiple dining options on campus, including three dining halls, a cafe, and a late night pub. There are a variety of healthy food options, and there is only one meal plan that gives you unlimited access to the dining halls, one of which will always be open from 7am to midnight. Food can get a little repetitive within the dining halls, but there are plenty of options to switch up the routine.

    I personally enjoy the convent hours and the selection that they have. Many people do not like the food, but if you are creative I believe it can work well. The hours are great and the staff is friendly. It can be accommodating if you make it work for you.

    No greek life, but theme houses which focus on representing some activities or moral values to the campus and show them that there are different ways of lifestyles
