Dickinson College Campus Life

The food here is extremely hit or miss. The meal plan system is weird, which consequently gives you limited location options for eating. The cafeteria is a social hotspot, so most students eat there regularly. Most would say that the food relatively hit or miss, but I'd say it's usually pretty good. Across the hallway is the Snar, which offers sandwiches, a salad bar, and quick eats. The Quarry, the student-established coffee shop on campus, recently changed its entire menu, causing slow service and subpar sandwiches, but they have great wings and solid meal exchanges. There's also two juice bars. I'm satisfied with the dining options, but they could definitely be much better.

The town is small, so there isn't too much to choose from, but the dining hall has good food and brunch is a big thing at Dickinson.

Most days food is pretty good. The worst part about it is that it just gets boring. We don't have a food service, we have chefs, so the food isn't gross, mass-produced in a factory. Also we have a soup chef that used to a White House soup chef!

The food is wonderful, The staff know what they are doing!

The Caf is often proud for the organic stuff that they serve. The food's taste is okay, and I mean, looking at Carlisle's random location, I definitely am not complaining for the variety of food that they serve. I think that most of the Caf's food is really healthy. However, that being said, I prefer the Quarry or the Underground, which serves sushi and amazing sandwiches, when I'm choosing to eat at school. Unfortunately, the food is overpriced outside of the Caf. Outside of the school itself, the dining options are minimal, but a lack of variety does not mean a lack of quality! Definitely not. Downtown, they have a Belgian restaurant, a crepe place, and Japanese restaurant. All of them have really, really good dishes! I have been to a lot of places in the world, and have tried authentic foreign food, and Carlisle, despite the selection, still has the best taste/service combination for their restaurants. I recommend people from out of town to come too.

It gets so old. There are either good days or bad and you have to get creative on the bad days.

The dining services offer flexible options for on the go students- from grab n' go to cafes and snack bars to give you a variety. The cafeteria is also on the whole pretty good for the cost.

The food is excellent at Dickinson and there is a variety of places on and off campus to get good food at different times of day.

The food and dining is satisfactory.

The caf has decent food, but the design is pretty bleak. Also, think back to every high school movie cliche -- yup there are assigned tables. Sports teams, frats, sororities, and even random groups of friends claim tables. The track team will harass you until you leave their table.

It's here, but it's a small part of campus life. People who take advantage of it absolutely love it, but nobody judges you if it's not your thing.

There, but not a huge part of campus.

About 20% do it. It's not a huge thing on campus, but if you're in it, it runs your life. Frats run a lot of parties but most people can get in them.

I'm involved with Greek life on my campus and I love it, but the school is really down on Greek life and make it difficult for us to remain on campus. It's pretty clear they want to get rid of it, but for now it's still there. It gives you more fun things to do on the weekends, opportunities for charity and community outreach, great friendships with people you may have never gotten to know on campus, and

There are many Greek life groups on the campus ranging from social to academic core values. These must be sanctioned by the school, but there is a relatively accessible process to gain approval.

Their admission process is harder than the college.
