The Food Revolution

Students here have had quite a pleasant surprise upon returning to Hiram. The college has changed food provider companies, and Hiram's dining services are now controlled by AVI.

For the past few days, the campus was abuzz with excitement over the food. The food here at Hiram has drastically improved over break. I highly doubt we are on the Princeton Review's "Worst College Food" list any more.

Since I'm on about eating at Hiram, I might as well let you know about the different dining options here. As of this year, Hiram has four basic food centers. Miller Dining Hall is the main place for students to eat. In Miller, the food is laid out cafeteria style. Different stations are laid out, including the main entree location, a salad and fruit bar, a sandwich station, a pasta bar, a pizza counter, and a "Fusion" bar (where employees prepare hot food for you!). And Miller has a wonderful ice cream station and a long line of soda, milk, and juice fountains.

Another popular place to grab a bite is the KC, which has wonderful late-night options on the weekends, with made-to-order food, including wraps, subs, sandwiches, burgers, pizza, chicken tenders... that sort of food. The KC also has a sort of mini-mart, where you can buy cold sandwiches, drinks, ice cream, fruit, etc.

Above the KC is a small cafe sort of coffee house. And for the vegetarians and vegans, the Stone Soup Co-op is a great option. Students apply to be a part of the Co-op, where they takes hifts to cook for everyone in the Co-op.
