We all have our favorite places to eat, both on campus and off. Some people (like me) could have pizza all day every day and never get sick of it, while others prefer to switch things up. Throughout the years the food offered on campus has changed from retro to 90’s neon to what you see today. Regardless of the changes, dining areas have been a place for students to eat, hang out with friends, and relax.

Below you will find some good eats from years past.
