What Students Are Saying
Bluffton University's main cafeteria is called The Commons which has many different food options. There is are two grills, a station that offers pasta and pizza, the mainline, the deli, an ice cream machine, salad bar and a variety of options for drinks like pop, milk, coffee and juice. The Commons also has the option of To Go Lunches for days when you want to eat in your dorm and do work or when you don't have much time in between classes. There is also Bob's place which is open after The Commons is closed and is open until 11pm. They have a variety of options but a favorite is their milkshakes. During the week there is meal exchange at bobs where you can use a meal swipe. Otherwise you would use your Beaver Bucks. The quantity of your Beaver Bucks depends on your meal plan.

Although it gets old, as any college food does, there really is a good variety of options during any meal. After a while you will learn how to get creative and find food that you really like.
