Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Campus dining can be good or bad depending on what dining hall you choose to go to. The Susquehanna Food Court in the University Union is a decent eatery where a student can find Chick-fil-A, pizza, and a deli. Students express their love for the Patuxent because it provides an alternative to the typical mess-hall food. The Glen is a renovated dining hall that students are torn on—some love the renovations and the convenient location between the Towers, but others are still frightened by what the Glen used to be like. Newell is regarded as the mess hall with a variety of options that many students enjoy, as well. There's also the Newell Dining Hall, which has a great salad bar, kosher food, and all-you-care-to-eat options.

As a whole, students find the food okay at Towson and generally better than the food at other schools. The dining halls have many unique attributes that students just love—especially at the Patuxent. It is safe to say, though, that the food on campus lacks appreciation because of the outstanding off-campus dining selection.

Lunch Time!

Towson has a great variety of food! Anywhere from Italian, to Japanese, to Chinese, to Spanish...there are a lot of options for sure. There are many dining halls throughout campus. Best place? I woul have to say the Den. The Den is a buffet that includes salads, sandwiches, soups, fresh pasta cooked right in front of you, and even dessert!

I pretty much hate the food here but there's hope

DO NOT EAT AT THE GLEN. Okay now that that's been said... there are plenty of dining areas on campus but they all have the same frozen unseasoned burgers and crunchy chicken tenders, and pizza topped with overly processed cheese. I don't know why people eat at Paws, the food is dry and bland. The Susq has many options including Chick Fil A which is everyones favorite although it gets repetative! Deli sandwhiches from the Den and the Susq are really good! the P-Tux has great food, but it's only open for about 3 hours on weekdays, (Please try the pasta, its amazing but you probably have to add salt.) Breakfast is okay, but the employees are kinda mean in the morning. The breakfast sandwhiches are good but sometimes seem like they've been sitting fod days. Paws has good breakfast!

Dining Is Delicous

I enjoy the food at Towson. I have plenty of dining halls to choose from and each dining hall offers a variety of food, so eating on campus doesn't become repetitive. In addition the portions are filling.
