Haverford College
- Campus Dining

Small, but Many Convenient Off Campus Options

The DC is the only dining center on campus, and although that sounds limited, it is actually pretty great because a lot of the campus eats together, and at such a small school, it is a great place to meet people. You will always find someone you know to eat with. The options are limited, not the most wonderful, but they're not bad and there are a lot of vegetarian and healthy options, as well as "cook it yourself" omelettes and stir fry, which are convenient. It's not open all the time (only certain hours and closes by 8) but it's fine. Sunday brunch is a wonderful thing. The Coop is great for late night food and breakfast. It is cheap and the food is pretty good, and there's tons of pre-made stuff there too. Off campus (like right across the street), there is a Wawa, Chipotle, McDonalds, Subway, multiple good pizza places, Indian food, Chinese, Japanese, and within walking distance, there are so many options on Lancaster Ave. Also, the meal plan works at Bryn Mawr as well, which is convenient for when classes are taken there or when you just want good food (their food is wonderful). In the apartments, there are full kitchens in each, and many students cook their own meals.

The food at the DC is OK. It has...

The food at the DC is OK. It has options for everyone from vegans to omnivores, and there is always cereal and fruit. There is also the Coop which you can pay for with your student card. This always has pizza and other fast food items. Bryn Mawr has three dining centers, all of which are available to Haverford students on the meal plan. Go there for a change of pace. (They also host four different international food themes over the course of the year.)

Food on campus is...

Food on campus is tolerable--sometimes great, sometimes lackluster. Haverford has only one dining center, but we're a small enough college that it's never too crowded. There is also a smaller "Coop" place for cheesesteaks and pizza in the Campus Center that's pretty good, but it doesn't take your meal plan. The six-week rotating menus can get boring after a while. When that happens, it's time to go to neighboring Bryn Mawr College, which has three vastly superior dining halls, and the meal plans for each school are accepted at both without issue. The full meal plan is required if you live in any of the dorms (the Haverford College Apartments have kitchens and are thus exempt).
