What Students Are Saying
Every food facility has great food and a lot of variety. Convenient stores are also located throughout campus, and some are open 24/7 for our late night cravings! My favorites are Prentice wraps, and Ambrosia's milkshakes!
Nicole from Kent, OH
There are many dining opportunities on and around campus. Some dining options have vegan, vegetarian, or gluten free options for people with food sensitivities. There are dining options that are within easy walking distance of campus if you need a change of pace too, but they do not take the meal plans.
Laura from Lagrange, OH
The food is delicious, the dining staff is pleasant, and they have many job opportunities with great reviews.
