What Students Are Saying

the food is very diverse, and the workers inside the cafeteria are friendly. the workers are of various ethnicities which allow for proper communication with those who don't necessarily speak english.
jasmine from tallahassee, fl
The cafeteria food is like any school: sometimes you will enjoy what they are serving, and sometimes you won't. They do, however, always have a variety of choices.
Rachel from Rock Spring, GA
I don't eat at school so I don't know how the food or dining is. I give it a 4 star rating
