What Students Are Saying

The food is by far probably the best food I would ever try in a college cafeteria or school campus. We have a great variety of food. You will never get tired of eating on campus. Out dinning halls do a great job to make you high school transition to college easier. Whitman honestly takes care of their students by not only nursing their brains with knowledge but also with good nutritious foods.
Natalia from Camas, WA
Food can get boring and repetitive, but overall the dining services go to great lengths to accomodate everyone and serve tasty and healthy food.
Daniel from Walla Walla, WA
Tasty, healthy, and varied food every meal. Weekend brunch is a masterpiece.
Rebecca from Seattle, WA
The food is always good and varied. Some students complain about the quality of the food, but often that is simply due to a compulsive need to complain about something. Obviously, some meals are better than others to the individual, but on the whole, the cooks do a wonderful job. For a change of pace, Walla Walla has many fantastic restaurants.
Bellevue, WA
Bon Appetit is where you would get most of your food in Whitman. Most of the food tastes fantastic. If you are a vegetarian do not worry because there is always a lot of choices for you as well. You do not always have to go to the dining halls you can go to Reid or go into town.
