What Students Are Saying

fair dining food. small campus, so everything is close. however, some food did not go well with my stomach.
gabrielle from danbury, ct
Food is like most college selections. Nothing tastes bad but is not the healthiest. A lot of the food is expensive. The meal plan is run as a pay-per-item system so you are never limited to a specific amount of meals per day. There is an Au bon pain chain located on campus.
Kaitlin from Commack, NY
The dining at QU is very good for school food. it is made fresh daily and there are many different options and spots to purchase food. They have different menus every day, although they do not have many different options. The food budget is absolutely terrible though. Even with all of the food QU has, they give you an insufficient budget. You are only allowed 1000$ per semester that people usually run out with by mid-semester. It is impossible to stay on budget when you are eating three meals a day. For instance, one cup size of milk is 3.50$. For a budget of about 13$ a day, these prices are insufficient. Students are always running to the grocery store to stock up on food.
