- There is a privately-owned truck that parks on Packer Avenue called Rocco’s Concessions. Rocco’s menu is a veritable smorgasbord of food: hot dogs, pizza, egg rolls, mozzarella sticks, fried rice, hot pretzels, hot soups, and of course, deep-fried Oreos.
College Prowler Take
There’s never going to be a ton of variation among dining halls. Most students agree that the University Center and Rathbone dining halls effectively get the job done, but as you move past freshman year, you will seldom eat at on-campus facilities. Students who join fraternities and sororities will have a cook. In fraternities, the cook makes lunch and dinner every weekday, and sorority chefs usually just cook dinner. The kitchens are usually stocked enough to make just about anything anyone could imagine—especially when you’re drunk, and it’s really late at night. There is also a food court above the UC dining hall that houses two atrocious eateries, one Chinese and the other Mexican. There’s also a deli, Baker’s Junction, and Pandinis. There is a sandwich shop called Subversions in the Ulrich Student Center, which is very good. The University also is home to an ice cream shop called the Cup, which students enjoy. Johnny’s Bagels is a new addition in the past couple of years, and it’s conveniently located in Campus Square. Expect a consistent crowd at Johnny’s, no matter the time of day. There’s enough variety on campus that if a student so desired, they would probably have enough choices to eat exclusively on campus all four years. But most people wouldn’t do that. The food’s decent, but the off-campus eateries are where Bethlehem really shines. Students Speak Out

The food is fine; nothing too amazing. After freshman year, you rarely will find yourself in a dining hall. Some good spots right off campus include Goosey Gander, Deja Brew, and Johnny’s Bagels. |

I don’t like the food in the dining halls at all. Although, once you join a sorority or fraternity, you have your own kitchen so you have a lot more variety in what you can make. |

The dining hall food is decent; there’s much more variety after the re-opening of the pizza place on campus, Pandinis. There’s enough variety among the dining options. However, all of this will get old eventually—to solve any food boredom, it helps to order out or borrow a car and head out to one of the local restaurants. |

The food really isn’t bad. The dining hall has plenty of variety, and I could always find something to eat. For freshman without cars, however, the options of places to eat starts to get old pretty fast. |

Well, now that I’ve graduated, of course you can use GoldPLUS anywhere, and that’s a huge plus—free money equals free good food! Rathbone is good if you live in Lower Cents. Brunch is great at the UC on the weekends, but it’s tough getting up for that. |

Did You Know?On a campus as hilly as Lehigh’s, you better believe the students go sledding on dining hall trays when it snows. The most popular place is the hill next to Lower Centennial dormitory by the Rauch Business Center.
