What Students Are Saying

The only options to eat are at the school cafeteria which is called Egan. The food there isn't great most people try to eat at our second option which is the Laker. There you can get better food but you need to use money to get it.
Melinda from Erie, PA
mass production food is always not as good as mom's, but services such as parkhurst dining (the main dining hall) and the laker (made to order food) do an excellent job of making sure even the pickiest eater has something to enjoy.
Jonna from Grove City, PA
The food is amazing its a buffet style food with all types of food you will love it.
