Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

College food, no matter where you go, is never close to a home-cooked meal. That’s always one of the reasons going home on breaks is that much better. That aside, Villanova has a decent selection of pretty edible food. All types of eating preferences are looked after, so whether you are vegetarian, vegan, or have religious eating restrictions, dining services offers options for you. Not to mention that if you are hungry, the three cafeterias have decent food—and as much as you can eat. Breakfast is always good, with a variety of eggs, sandwiches, omelets, pancakes, and fruit.

It also helps that there are plenty of food specialty places around campus. The only problem with these, though, is that they tend to close early for a college campus and leave students in a position to get takeout or snack on something in their room. Overall, Villanova has a good taste in what is served. While students like to complain, it’s not all that bad.
