Muhlenberg College
- Campus Dining

Amazing, delicious and diverse selection

It is so easy to gain the freshman 15 at this school. There are always so many delicious and diverse options everyday that the temptation to try everything is overwhelming. The desserts are also amazing, and the staff are always happy to answer any questions about the food.

Practically Brand New

There are many places where you are able to get food on campus. The main location is the brand new (opened in August 2010) Bob Wood Dining Commons which is huge. There are two levels, or floors, which you can eat at. You swipe your meal card once and then have an all you can eat buffet basically. There is a sandwich line, a pasta stations, a grill, salad bar, frozen yogurt machine, desert bar, and other things as well. The only bad thing is that sometimes the food can get a little repetitive. The quality of the food is pretty good though. They make all of the food there and most times right in front of you. You can also get dining dollars on your meal plan and go to other places for food. We have a more grill/fryer place called the GQ which is open to 1 AM on school nights and 3 AM on weekend nights. This is a very popular spot to get food. There are also other places you can get food with these dining dollars, such as a smoothie/milkshake place called Freshens. I would recommend the Silver or Gold dining plan. There is also an unlimited plan if you'd prefer that.

Some Places Better Than Others

Depending on what you want in your dining experience, you're going to find that some place are simply better. GQ is great if you're in a hurry, but it gets old quickly. Especially after removing the Red Hot Chef action station, which would change every weekday, there is little to no variety in the food that is served there. Sandella's is yummy but a bit expensive. The new "Campus Restaurant" is Muhlenberg Privilege at its finest, right down to the school seal emblazoned on the back of each wooden chair. It's beautiful and the food is certainly a step up from what it used to be, but it's still very much a college dining hall.

Keep track of your dining dollars well; since they've changed the meal plan (2010-11 school year), it's difficult to judge how many you need. They now roll over from semester-to-semester, which is great, but you can always add more if you run out (which is more likely than having an excess).
