What Students Are Saying

The Lottie Nelson, which is our main cafe, is a great place to eat, an all day long buffet and the chance to meet know people, as well as meet with close friends. We also have The Union, The Falcon Express, and South Side, all imitating a Starbucks atmosphere, and a more relaxed place, to eat well cooked food, interact with other students, or simply do some school work.
Ezequiel from Grantham, PA
Lottie Dining Hall has delicious food some days, not so delicious food other days. There's always stir-fry and build-your-own bars like quesadillas or omelettes. The Union Cafe is a great option when the dining hall isn't appetizing, with burgers, pizza, chicken sandwiches, and other grill items. The Falcon Cafe is a great lunch spot with paninis, soups, salad, and rice bowls. Overall, you won't go hungry.
