What Students Are Saying
Again, since I didn't live on campus I can't say much about the cafeteria. I personally didn't really like it, but I know it is a lot better and has way much more variety than most. The meal plans try to scam every freshman, so get the lowest one you can. The great thing about living in the city is that there are so many other options besides cafeteria food. Just don't tie up all your money in Dining Dollars and Swipes, and you'll be able to take advantage of that.

There are a wide range of food options. Not only university dinning but you also have places such as chipotle, Qudoba, Panera, Noodles, Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, etc...
Luke from Pittsburgh, PA
Dining is pretty straightforward, the food served in the dining hall is pretty good. My only complaint is the repetitiveness of meals and how crowded it gets at certain times where they run out of silverware and seating. Other than that it's pretty good.

The food here is okay. If you like chicken patties, pizza and burgers this is the place! They serve them every day which can be bland. But there are also vegetarian and vegan options.
Joseph from Pittsburgh, PA
Get more dining dollars than swipes. Most of the time a swipe will just get you meh pizza, whereas dining dollars are more flexible. Eating out is also a great option, but can get expensive. Watch your finances when it comes to food.
