What Students Are Saying

Wonderful food and dining room has great cooks.
ShaQuenna Arrington
The cafe is pretty average. It is a great place to meet up and have lunch with your friends.
Tiffany from Petal, MS
The dining hall at William Carey is another great way to meet people, Everyone has to eat, so almost everyone at Carey will be there at one time or another. The staff is great!
Carey Student
For the most part, the food is amazing. Most students call it The Caf, and this year they have been really awesome about trying new foods like chinese and egg rolls.
Juliana from Hattiesburg, MS
Pizza! Every one around campus votes that William Carey has the best pizza ever. If you are like me and don't like to eat pizza all the time, they have other lines you can go to. For desserts, they have a freezer of Blue Bell Ice-cream, cookies, cakes, and a cobbler of some sort. I enjoy the cafeteria food and the atmosphere during breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Ashton from Northport, AL
You have two options, you can eat in the cafeteria or at the commons and enjoy some coffee. The food is an A+ and I don't know of anyone who can complain. You are offered a wide variety of foods and healthy at that!
