College Prowler Take
The food on Emory’s campus is so-so. At first, freshmen are excited by the idea of a food court featuring a Burger King and Chick-fil-A, but the excitement soon wears off when they realize that these are sub-par, food-court versions of their favorite fast-food chains. The freshman dining hall in the DUC features all types of food imaginable and serves food from early in the morning until late in the evening, but the food is far from amazing. Breakfasts are the best meals, and the rotating menu does provide variety, although it still gets repetitive after a while. Cox Food Court does offer a small bakery, a salad station, fresh sushi, a home-cooked Southern style eatery, and a smoothie place for those looking to avoid the DUC and fast-food. The Depot offers late-night mediocre food service daily and is a hangout for studying students. Caffè Antico, located above the Carlos Museum, offers probably the healthiest and best food on campus, although it is a bit pricey for a sandwich place. Freshmen are required to purchase a meal plan through the school, which allows them to eat a certain number of meals at the DUC, and provides a certain amount for eating at Cox or The Depot. Overall the food on campus is just okay, but certainly livable, and provides just enough variety to get through freshman year. It is easy to be fooled into thinking Emory has great food for the first few weeks of school, but the realization of its general blandness hits all freshmen around October. Students Speak Out

The main dining hall is located in the Dobbs University Center, and the quality of food is typical of most university dining halls; however, they offer a number of different options, and are sensitive to the diversity of dietary lifestyles on campus. Some people prefer Cox Hall because it operates like a small food court, with chain-style dining, and has a regular crowd of Cox-rats, making it a social scene more than a dining facility. The restaurant Caffè Antico caters the museum café, and a lot of faculty dine here, and the food is pretty good but overpriced. I rarely eat on campus because it is such an ordeal to avoid the scene. |

Food here is better than some other schools I’ve been to, but it could definitely use some more variety. It gets old real fast. |

To put things simply, the food could be better here. The DUC is mediocre and Cox is too, and the other options are way overpriced. |

Cox just got better, but it used to be open 24 hours and isn’t anymore, which sucks. The DUC is mediocre at best, but it has good hours and is always serving a wide variety of foods, which is nice. |

The food isn’t amazing, but it is good enough that most girls put on around 15 pounds their freshman year. There are a lot of greasy options available, and when those are your only options, you have no choice. |
