Its a dorm, dorms suck, but the dorms here are fine in comparison to other dorms. Its a place to sleep. Sweetland: rich kid dorm. I suggest the ones closest to campus. You will not have to go outside in the snow.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Lower Student Center: If you have a student ID with flex money on it you can get food for a little less money. They promote the meal plan. Get more flex than you do meals. Meals only count in the buffet, but flex is money that can be used anywhere in the school.
