What Students Are Saying

Students have the option of dining in three locations which are all located in the Geary Student Union. There is the Coffee Tavern, which proudly brews Starbucks Coffee, Mo Harv's Food Court, which offers the options of the grill, subs and wraps and foreign delicacies, and the all you can eat Cafeteria, which offers several different options everyday. Students can pick their own meal plan.
ElizabethR from Charleston, WV
The food and dining at University of Charleston is always mouth-watering and satisfying. Each day the cafeteria cooks three meals a day, with plenty of options to choose from. They provide many choices from pizza to a warm hearty full course meal. The cafeteria is accessible between classes or during a break, and always a good place to hang out. The amazing aromas will lead your nose to the cafeteria.
