Campus Life

Everyone says that college food is horrible, but I have to disagree. Although some dinners weren't what I would have necessarily been craving or would have had at home, it was edible and did fill me up. I was told going into college that there are many options for food and that is how the freshman 15 happens. I am here to say that is true. Although The College of Saint Scholastica has a gym, I didn't use it and to add to that, I had dessert with every meal because it was offered. The food was good and there were healthy options, vegetarian options, and even dairy-free options, but I chose the fries and cake instead. The food here is varied and cooked well, but I have learned that it is all a matter of choosing what I won't regret eating later.

This is where the college lacks in options and quality. Poor food selection and auality...

The food is alright. I think it is really good for school food. You can not go into the dining area's like GDR and the Den with the expectations of a home cooking. The variety of food is good too.

Our grab-and-go food (Storm's) and our Coffee Shop (Beakers) is really delicious and there's a variety of things to choose from. We always have fresh sushi and really good espresso. The dining hall is sometimes hit-or-miss but for the most part the main line is something you'd want to eat. There are gluten free and vegetarian options at every meal and they also account for lactose intolerance.

The campus hosts two large sources of food, one being the greenview dining center which is a cafeteria style food service. One swipe of your school i.d and you have permission to eat until you burst. Each day the menu varies and has reasonably wide selection of foods for being located on a small campus.
The second main food source is known as Storm's den, named after the St. Bernard mascot. The food service within is much like a store in the way that items are selected and brought to a cash register where either your dining dollars or cash is accepted in exchange for food.

Greenview food is good most of the time-however not usually good for you. Storm's den food is normally really good (especially the freshly made wraps and burrito Mondays), but it is really expensive.

there is always something going on at the college. from student seminars, to community service/volunteering as well as guest speakers/entertainers. the college is a very family oriented college that takes good care of their students. example, the sisters and faculty always have some food event available for students and the student body is very much a big family.
