Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

While many colleges offer a variety of dining halls and eateries, La Roche offers only two—Cantellops Dining Hall (aka the cafeteria) and Redhawk Café. The cafeteria only operates in short increments of time per meal throughout the day, making it difficult for students with many classes to get anything to eat. Most students dislike the cafeteria, not only because of its odd hours but because the majority of people who work there are often unfriendly and short with students. There are also very strict rules on taking food out of the dining hall. If students want to take something with them, they must pay 25 cents for a container, get their food, and leave promptly afterwards. Students who can’t make it to the cafeteria go to Redhawk Café, which is open from early morning until early evening. Plus, the food there is decent.
 

In general, the food is not well received. Many resident students go grocery shopping every week and eat the bulk of their meals in their dorm rooms. Most commuter students don’t even bother paying for a meal plan and either just eat at home or pay to eat at off-campus restaurants. The consensus? LRC’s food is not worth the more than $1,000 students pay per semester.

The Food Is Horrible Most of the Time

The food is horrible most of the time here at La Roche College. The only two places to eat on campus is the Cafeteria and Redhawk Cafe, which serves as a take out Cafe for students not wanting cafeteria food or must run to class. Walking in the cafeteria at anytime of the day, you will see food that you've never seen or heard of before, since alot of cooks who work their are either lazy, bad cooks, or have pretty wild imaginations. The food is only good every so often, usually on a day when there are visitors on campus such as a prospective student visit day, other then that, the food is crappy, dull, or gross, and usually worse on weekends and less variaty then then there is on weekdays. Also the hours can be inconvient, especially on weekends. The Redhawk Cafe, on the other hand, has pretty good food. Not a big selection, but it is better then the cafeteria food. The only downside with the Cafe is that every so often, the wraps they make tend to get soggy and gross, and stomachs tend to not agree with it. Also, even though they are open all day on weekdays, they are not open on weekends and at times they tend to close randomly for unknown reason on weekdays. Your best shots at avoiding the food here, while not turning anorexic, is either buying and eating your own food, or leaving campus to go eat at a fast food place down the street.

Hit or Miss

LRC is a lot like Denny's when it comes to their food. You can always get the basics but you're not looking at fine dining in this respect. The daily "specials" are OK some of the time and often need to be avoided. You can find healthy choices without a problem. The dining hall is freshly renovated. Prices aren't all that great (I wasn't on any meal plan so I can't vouch for that, but the cost of lunch went up significantly over the time I was there). They have a take-out facility as well. Vending machines are commonplace but the bookstore is a better deal if you need a snack fix.
