College Prowler Take
Campus Dining is first-rate and compensates for the hefty meal plan pricing. Hardly any students have qualms with it. Diversity of selection is impressive, and the all-you-can-eat facilities offer a variety of buffet assortments: deli, pasta bar, grill, stir-fry, chef’s corner, Kosher corner, waffles, salad bar, smoothies, and freshly-baked desserts. The atmosphere is very pleasant and conducive to a refreshing social experience. Each dining hall has a unique atmosphere. Ivy Room, for example, has a jukebox that plays loud old-time favorites. Cascadeli offers balcony seating overlooking downtown Ithaca and Cayuga Lake in the distance. Appel Commons also provides an outdoor dining area which is open in the warmer months. Furthermore, special Cross Country Gourmet occasions take place at a variety of dining halls over the course of the semester, introducing students to marvelously exotic cuisines prepared by some of the world’s leading chefs. Chefs at the dining halls really take pride in their work and reputation, and they keep students happy and coming back for more. Even those who live off campus are continually tempted to visit on-campus eateries for all-you-can-eat dinners and Sunday brunch. A caveat: with great food and unlimited portions, many students quickly put on the Freshman 15. Thanks to the Cornell fitness centers, you can justify your indulgences. Students Speak Out

Really, I can't complain about campus food. The dining halls are mostly good and offer a decent variety. At least, there are enough dining halls that you can avoid stuff you don't like. As for cash-and-carry places, most are alright. They can be a bit expensive—except the Dairy Bar, the cheapest coffee on campus—but the food is alright. Trillium's tomato cheese soup is amazing, and the Dairy Bar is awesome for breakfast!

The dining halls on North Campus...
The dining halls on North Campus offer a huge variety, and the ones on West Campus less so. The meal plans are very expensive, though. There's a lot of really good, cheap food in Collegetown and Ithaca Commons, like Taste of Thai.

Although the food is tasty, prices are extravagant if you’re not on a meal plan, especially at the Ivy Room. The lines are sometimes outrageous during lunch hours, at Trillium in particular. Check out some more obscure places like the Big Red Barn for a quick wrap. |

The dining halls are excellent. I find it difficult to get better food than what you find here on campus. |

Cornell dining is second to none. The dining halls are impeccable, and the food is scrumptious. Any dining facility is good. |

Did You Know?The Hot Truck, located on the 600 block of Stewart Avenue behind Cornell’s west campus dorms, is a traditional hot spot that opens at 10 p.m. and closes at 2:30 a.m. for post-party, late-night snacks. Louie’s Lunch, right across from Risley Hall on north campus, promotes a similar concept; opened daily for lunch until 3 a.m. Your meal plan comes with a set amount of Big Red Bucks, a declining balance account you use can use at eateries; you can add to it anytime throughout the semester. The award-winning Cross Country Gourmet Guest Restaurant Series brings chefs, menus, and atmospheres from America’s most influential restaurants to you in Cornell’s dining rooms.
