Huden Dining Hall - Castleton

Huden is my least favorite thing about Castleton University. Thanks for serving me the same food every day for 4 years. Maybe appealing for a one-time visit, but not food anyone should live off from.

The combo of Huden 's terrible food and the lack of regular kitchen access in the dorms are two of the biggest reasons I moved off campus. No one wants to live off pizza, chicken nuggets, and grilled cheese. Also if you 're vegetarian or vegan you either are forced to buy other food outside of your meal plan or you have to live with the fact that you 'll be eating the exact same rice and quinoa several times a day. You 'd think that if the grill station is serving burgers, the vegetarian section would have veggie burgers or black bean burgers, and you would be wrong. The lack of labels on food is also a nightmare. Sometimes they just serve cookies with bacon in them, and you have no way of knowing until you accidentally eat one and learn to identify them based on appearance. If you ask whether or not there 's meat or nuts (or other allergens) in the food when the signs aren 't up or accurate, often staff will respond negatively, or say they 're pretty sure there isn 't any.

A little surprised that I pay $39,000 to not have lunch meals ready by 2:00 on the weekend. Go to Poultney to get real food.

It was pretty bad when I went to school here...30 years ago. Doesn't look like much has changed. Sorry kids.

The food here when eaten on one visit may seem like decent cafeteria college food. Eating it for 2 1/2 plus years its akin to prison food. Q is the only employee worth giving any credit
