Almost every Huskie finds themselves eating from a dining hall at some point during their college career, but students have mixed opinions about the food options available.
From chicken tenders to salad bars to soft serve and cookies, there are three main dining halls on campus, Neptune, Patterson and Stevenson, which students with a meal plan can swipe their OneCard to access.
