Campus Life

simmons dining is very user friendly and willing to adjust and offer whatever we prefer. there is a great selection for vegans, vegetarians and we have a gluten free section. both of our dining halls are self serve and will go out of their way to give you what you need.

Our service people are saints. They stayed with us through all three of our blizzards, and are very kind and friendly. The food is middling-ok, you can usually find at least something edible and in the range of balanced. However, we are supplied by a large corporation and mistakes do happen. It's very hard to resist the temptation to eat pizza all day every day, since it's the one reliably delicious option. But once you get over that mental hurdle, it's not super hard to eat healthy. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free mileage may vary though. Our staff aren't super good at labeling things.

The baked goods at Common Grounds, however, are fantastic. I could live on those double-chocolate muffins.

The food is decent and the dining staff does a decent job with food allergies. Those with allergies may face a lack of options at times.

There's two dining halls here. Bartol and the Fens. Bartol is on the residence campus. Brunch at Bartol is always the best, lunch is usually boring, but they really bring it for diner! The fries are so good! The Fens in on the academic campus. They have a lot of variety and we have our own sushi chef. Its amazing. I have never been let down by the Fens.
I'm not personally gluten free or a vegan/vegetarian, however I know we have some promising options for people who are! Its not incredible because we are a small school, but the dining staff is really flexible and there's always a couple options!
