What Students Are Saying
There are many different choices at Carthage in terms of eating. There is a cafeteria which is being remodeled to bring in more options, a Baja Fresh, Wow Wingery, and an Einsteins bagels. Along with those there is a Starbucks, Seattle's Best and a corner store which is like a convenient store.
Kimberly from Chicago, IL
The food here is amazing. We have healthy choices and a delicious variety of foods. There are a few restaurants conveniently located throughout the campus so you can grab a bite to eat without being late for class. Also the variety is abundant so you can mix and match with food cravings.
Alicia from Zion, IL
They gave us a free lunch at the Caf and it was really good there were lots of options and there are also other restuans on campus
Jasmine from Chicago, IL
I waited until second semester, for some reason, to really explore food choices beyond The Caf. Although the Caf is good, I have really liked the variety of hitting up some of the other venues. Don't be afraid to mix it up - just watch the balance on your points.
