The food service exceeded my expectations daily. A wonderful variety of locally-sourced meat and vegetables; Vegan and Gluten-Free options at every meal; soups made fresh daily; the progressive menu exposes students and staff to a wide array of cuisines and flavours.

Here to drop off my oldest at college and we had dinner in the cafeteria. Barbecue chicken breast, mac n cheese, green beans, salad, and baked beans. Good dinner, nice clean place. I feel comfortable knowing this is where my son will spend his next year:)

Taken into the context that this is a cafeteria, the food far exceeds the expectations. They have an absolute ton of food options, they buy from local farmers, they are actively trying to reduce waste as much as possible, there's even a subcommittee in student government devoted to improving services there. Sure, it's not really perfect, but for a cafeteria serving thousands of students, it is by far the best I've ever seen or heard off. Did I mention they are still finding ways to improve?

It's a pretty standard college cafeteria. Food isn't amazing but you can always just get pizza or a sandwich.
