Name the vendor.

Otherwise, you're stirring the pot (no pun intended) and presenting false info.

I peeked in the new dining facility when I was there last weekend. Windows all around. Will be a very bright and attractive place. Looks out over the new College Woods walkway which is also a really great addition.

Yes, the food is nasty there.

Sodexco and Aramark are two of the big companies with contract / institutional food operations (e.g., colleges, workplaces, elementary / middle / high schools).

+1. Honest to God! It’s a public school folks! It’s only $40k a year all in compared to USC at 99k! What more do your entitled brains want?

They also cater the stadium food, hospitals, and other places where it's necessary to feed the masses.

Guess what? As an Agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia, public universities have a public obligation to ensure that all expenditures are necessary and reasonable and that they support the mission of the university.

If it was fabulous cuisine, you would complain about the cost.

UVA uses Aramark. So do many institutions in the state. W&M switched to Aramark in 2023 to improve their poor food reputation from before. GMU used Sodexo when my DD was there (and she complained) but switched to Chartwells Higher Education as its new dining partner.

It is what it is. If you want swank food, go private.

W&M is in the bottom 10 for school food.

I went to W&M in the 90s and it was Aramark then. The food was fine.

Source? No way someone has eaten at every single college to make comparisons
