Student review [#37471] for Business Analytics
at Columbia University

It’s generally nutritious (except at JJ’s) and takes into account dietary preferences, and while (like any canteen food) it ages quickly, dining rooms will sometimes surprise you (Ferris fish tacos, surf, and turf). Honestly, while I’ve rarely eaten really well, I’ve eaten very few meals that tasted bad – usually ranging from bland but edible to pretty good. The Ferris pasta station is always an option. The main downside to eating on campus is that the meal plan is quite expensive, especially compared to the many great, practical restaurants in Morningside Heights. However, after eating at other colleges and hosting friends at other colleges, I can say that Columbia’s dining options are far superior to the vast majority of college campus food, including most other expensive private colleges.
