This. Impossible to distinguish whether a school has more of the whiny students or actually has poor quality food. Not really very credible to believe that the same vendor has substantially different food on offer among JMU, UVA, and W&M.

I’ve never been to a college that didn’t use Sodexho or Aramark, so there is that


I think VT is its own provider. JMU, UVA, and W&M I believe use Aramark. By reputation, JMU has good food while UVA and W&M do not, which is a bit odd if they have the same provider.

My freshman hasn’t complained once about the food. She’s in a gorgeous new dorm and is excited for the new dining hall to open soon.

It really does.


It's definitely a lot easier to self run a dining program when you have 40 thousand+ students

Nope. I don't plan on eating much or any of it. I have never heard anything negative about the food.

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