What Students Are Saying

There is not a lot of choice on campus and it's basically in the middle of the woods, so eating out isn't much of an option unless you have a car and some time to spare. On campus there is one company in charge of food (their contract is expiring soon.) There is also the Flaming Eggplant on campus, which is a student run restaurant. It's decent, not sure what you expect from students. I eat there anyways because I'd rather support them than Aardvark(contracted food company).

The cafeteria has lots of options for people of all tastes and diets. The selection of hot food seemed to be a lot more exciting than most cafeterias I've visited.
Suzanne from Burlington, WA
There is a variety of different cuisine to choose from.
Andrea from Lacey, WA
The Flaming Eggplant Cafe is a must in dining experiences. It is student-run uses organic locally grown food with seasonal inspired dishes with several vegetarian and vegan options.
Marcella from Graham, WA
The buses are free with your student ID; explore Olympia, Lacey, and Tumwater!
Ursula from Olympia, WA
