- Campus Dining

Oh Boy....Just What You Would Expect

We have three "dining areas" on campus. Commons has the most selection and is probably the healthiest choice in that we can pick what we want. Unlike the other two options, we swipe our card once before a meal and then have unlimited access to food.

DK's is the second largest food place. If you want grilled food, this is the best option. But we do have a $5 limit to spend at dinner and even less at lunch.

Java Joint is the last option and is popular among the vegetarians, vegans, and people who don't eat. They have a wide selection of hot drinks. They only have wraps, sandwiches, chips, and other small things to grab on the go.

Disgusting

The food here is greasy and salty at best, and disgusting at worst.

OK

Commons (the dining hall/cafeteria) gets a little creative sometimes, but there's always something tolerable. They make their own versions of Chinese, Indian, Mexican, etc. in addition to more normal cafeteria food. There's at least 1 vegetarian and 1 vegan option at every meal. Sometimes they have the Fresco Grille, where they make made-to-order stir fries, burritos, pastas, etc. There's also always a deli/sandwich place where you can get basically anything you'd want, plus panini grills if you want it toasted. The salad bar is huge and awesome. There are always 30-some kinds of cereals, and basically always bagels leftover from breakfast. PB&J is always out. There's a sundae bar every friday night, and a frozen yogurt machine the rest of the time, plus other desserts. The best part is, it's all-you-can eat. You swipe your card when you walk in, and you can get as much of whatever you want. They serve BLD on M-F, breakfast, brunch, and dinner on Saturdays, and breakfast and brunch on Sundays. Sunday dinner, you're on your own. People make food in the kitchens, go out, or order in. Sometimes clubs will make and sell food or have potlucks. Commons is located in Chapin Hall, on the residential side of campus.

DK's is the fast food place. The food is good, and fairly cheap. It's popular for lunch, and is usually crowded. It's on the first floor of Pearsons. Java Joint is the coffee shop/cafe. It has muffins/bagels, but also wraps, soups, and paninis. It's not open for dinner, and is in the basement of Pearsons. You can use your meal plan at both DKs and Java Joint. You get up to $2.25 for breakfast, $4.25 for lunch, and $4.75 for dinner. If you eat a lot and go over, you just make up the difference in cash.
