Good, but It Gets Old.

Food is good, but you need to be creative not to get tired of it. There's a salad bar, a deli bar, a stir fry bar, a cooking bar, an ice cream bar. So, if you are willing to do something with those it stays interesting, if you just go for the hot meals, it gets kinda old.

Get Creative

Hampshire has one dining hall, SAGA. The best thing that can be said about it is it fully caters to all dietary needs. There are always a myriad of vegan and gluten free options. In fact, meat eaters are the most likely candidates to be unhappy with the food. There are do-it-yourself salad, sandwich, and stir-fry bars. Get creative or you'll get bored! The majority of upperclassmen Hampshire students live in housing with private kitchens, so the dining hall is dominated by freshmen. Students have their choice of three rooms to eat in: Small and quiet, large with round tables, or medium with long rectangular tables. SAGA is not open all day, but for two and three hour increments at meal times.

There is also a small cafe, perfect for snacks and lunch. The Bridge Cafe is attached to both the library and the recreation center. At the beginning of each semester every student is given $90 to be spent only at the Bridge.

Tolerable, but Better to Opt Out

The meal plan is less than optimal, but buying from the Bridge Cafe on campus is convenient. Living in the mods without a plan is great!
