What Students Are Saying

The dining hall is convenient, to say the least. The food seems pretty good at first (side note: I'm not a very picky person), but it gets to be a little bit monotonous after a while. It's not gourmet, but it's also not horrible either. I could always rely on the salad bar and a slice of pizza, and I was fine with that. So, if you're a very picky eater, you probably won't be very happy with it. However, if you aren't, you can be content with the dining hall food.

Ram's Head and Lenoir are the two dining halls on campus. The food is decent and better than many other university dining halls. There are always many options and there is always a salad and pizza bar if all else fails. Ram's Head dining hall is on South Campus and has late night hours from 9:00 to midnight on school nights for late night studiers. Flex money can be used for restaurants on campus, such as Wendy's, Chick-fil-A, Alpine Bagel, and more. Alpine Bagel and Wendy's are basically open all the time, while other restaurants have weird hours.

There is sooo much to choose from in terms of food options. Contrary to what I expected, most food at the dining halls is quite healthy, and there are vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and lactose-free options, among others. Having said that, you likely will not struggle to find your favorite cravings. The dining hall staff is very receptive to feedback, and they make changes throughout the year to satisfy student needs. Apart from dining halls, there are plenty of restaurants and cafes both on and off campus. You will not be disappointed!
Victor
Actually pretty decent food here. There's only two dining halls, and one of them has very strange hours, but the fast food/restaurants on campus help make up for that. The dining hall lay out also makes zero sense, so when you're looking for food, make sure to check all the corners and stations so you don't miss out on anything!
