What Students Are Saying

If you're a picky eater like me, there are some nights and days where it's hard to find something you like to eat. Also it seems at times like there is a lot of greasy food, if you don't like salad all the time and cold sandwiches for dinner. However, Central does have a pretty good variety and if they aren't serving anything that suits your palate there a plenty of nearby restaurants to pick from and a couple of small stores.

There are three different places to eat on campus that accept the meal plan, and they are all decent. My favorite was Geisler Cafe (it's also a great place for work study employment).
