Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The University of Vermont receives high marks from students as far as the quality and taste of food. It loses points for its overpriced food, unchanging menu, and noticeable lack of Kosher food (except during Passover). For more independent students, there are several cooking facilities in each dorm section. Unfortunately, this option is available only primarily to upperclassmen since all freshmen are required to have a meal plan. It is possible to do both with certain meal plans.

UVM actually has fairly good dining hall food when compared with other schools. Taking the food for what it is—bulk-purchased, vitamin-enriched, mass-produced cuisine—it is actually pretty tolerable. Everyone will have his or her fair share of complaints, but overall, they do a fair job. An alternative to the crowded dining halls are a number of made-to-order areas that offer wraps, sandwiches, and a variety of other tasty treats. But don’t expect any deals—a box of cereal often costs five dollars and a pint of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream will cost a dollar more than anywhere else. And remember, the food is not meant to be the best food you’ve ever had—it is there so you won’t starve. While it probably does not beat your mom’s home-cooking, UVM does have a better-than-average food program.

Variety of Choices

The places to eat on campus are well spread out and offer a real variety of choices. There's tons to choose from and it takes a while before you eat the same thing twice. The staff are super friendly, and the environment is warm and inviting, however, the food is highly overpriced.

Decent

At least there are retail dining options because the residential dining seems sort of repetitive.
