What Students Are Saying

So much variety. If you go, try a little bit of everything. There is a pizza station, sandwich making station, salad bar, cereal dispensers, fruit, fries, burgers. There is so much to get! If you don't like one thing, try another! Oh and there's also an ice cream cart thingy.
Jocelyn from Catonsville, MD
When I went there in the 90's, it was good in the area of food & dining.
I have just started back there for my masters degree and have not eaten there as of yet.
Patricia from Reading, PA
The food is good. There are different types of food you can choose. The people in the dining are always helpful.
Ana from Gettysburg, PA
Alvernia has dining areas in almost every building. This is useful for when classes are close together, and there is no time to go to the opposite side of campus. There is also a variety of choices, including healthy choices.
Sarah from Reading, PA
I am always attending campus activities on campus. The movies, trips, and sporting events.
