What Students Are Saying

The food here is like any other college, its college food. We have many different varieties and options to choose from which is what I like about it.

The dining hall always has different food everyday. There is also a salad bar, a pizza bar, and a stir fry section. There is also a selection of desserts. If you go in the student center there is a Nathans, a pizza place, a sub shop and a Spanish place.
Brianna from Shirley, NY
The food is awesome, Southern has lots of great meals providing their students. Even outside food restaurants such as Dunken Donuts! my personal favorite.
