Campus Life

The Pryz could be better, but it could be a lot worse! :-) If you really have had it, you could always go into D.C. If you can't find something there, then you are to blame! :-)

This university is unique in that it offers an unlimited meal plan, which includes $100 per semester for purchases from the campus Starbucks. The cafeteria has long hours, and the staff are very helpful and friendly.

Food and dining are great! A mean plan is available; however, if it is too expensive or you just don't want one -- there are tons of other options! There's a food court and convenience store on campus (starbucks, subway, chick-fil-a -- to name a few) that takes cash and other payment methods. Also, directly across from campus there's Chipotle, Today's Pizza, Potbelly's, etc -- it's very convenient. And it's the only university with a subway stop on campus, so you can take the metro if you have to go to other nearby shopping centers (target, giant, bed bath & beyond, etc).

Luckily, upperclassmen normally don't eat at the Pryz. Occasionally, the Pryz will serve a great meal, but for the most part, the food is not good. There is a fairly wide variety, however.

There are plenty of options for food. While some options become your favorite meals and others might be unidentifiable it isn't the worst thing you will ever ingest. If you can't handle those options there is always the cafeteria and student restaurant. AND, now Potbelly located across the street from campus. I promise you will not starve.

The food was great when I visited. And I love that they offer healthy alternatives!

Food in the student restaurant is not the greatest but plentiful. It's also very repetitive but open late. Breakfast is the best meal because there's lots of fresh fruit and made to order omelets.

the food can sometimes be a little bland, but overall it is not offensive.

CUA doesn't have the best food but its not the worst.
