College Prowler Take
The food here at SU can be summed up in one word—awful. There are, however, pros and cons, like most things at SU, and there are ways to make the most out of your dining experience. There are two types of food at SU: dining hall food and Supercard dining facilities food. The dining halls are the places on campus where you may use your meal plan; it’s also where you will need the skills of Emeril Lagasse to concoct something even remotely tasty. The selection is extensive, but you will quickly get sick of making your seventh meal of the week using grilled chicken, deli meat, salad bar, and pasta. No dining hall is significantly better than the others either; although the Daily Orange rated Sadler and Graham dining facilities as some of the better ones, and Shaw and Haven as some of the worst. Shaw Dining Hall is also the only place on campus where Kosher food is served. The Supercard areas, on the other hand, more than make up for the gross grub in the dining halls. These places are designated for use with cash or your prepaid Supercard. With a selection of Sbarro, Taco Bell, Burger King, KFC, Dunkin Donuts, deli sandwiches, Chinese stir-fry, and sushi, the choices are endless. Try Kimmel Dining Hall, a popular place to grab some snacks at just about any time of the day or night.

Brockway is the remodeled dining hall on campus and thus far the best! Do not let anyone else tell you otherwise.

It's not good, it's not bad, but it's there. When you can't make food and you need something quick then you can stop in at a dining hall and get something quick. The food is all repeated once a week so if you have a dining hall you go to everyday you figure out the schedule quickly and it gets annoying. The best dining hall for some reason is the Brockway one but everything is made in bulk everywhere and just doesn't compare to off-campus or self-made.

I personally didn’t care too much for the dining hall food. The simple things like cereal, bread, bagels, and stuff like that are all good because you can’t go wrong with any of that. You’ll always find something you like, though. My favorite was the frozen yogurt. |

The dining halls on campus are not very good, unfortunately. Certain dining centers are better than others, but as a whole, they aren’t very good. The Kimmel Dining Center, however, is very good because it consists of many large fast food franchises (Taco Bell, KFC, Burger King, Sbarro, and Dunkin’ Donuts). |

If you enjoy onion rings, French...
If you enjoy onion rings, French fries, and chewy hamburgers, then you’ve come to the right place. Most of the other food comes from Lean Cuisine as far as I’ve heard. There isn’t a tremendous amount of variation. Usually, I go for the food from the vegetarian section, not because I’m a vegetarian, but because the food there seems better prepared than the rest. Shaw seems consistently okay. Walking around Haven in circles only to find bad food on the other side again and again just makes me upset. Graham Dining Hall is my favorite. |

Did You Know?The Supercard gives students the option of more food choices. This is a prepaid card on which either the students themselves or their parents put a balance at the beginning of each semester. SU also offers a full-service restaurant on campus, called Goldstein Faculty Center that is not just for the University’s faculty. Students are welcome at any time during lunch hours, and they can use their Supercard dollars to pay. SU has a Burger King rather than a McDonald’s on campus. In order to find a McDonald’s, students must leave campus by car or taxi.
