Hampshire College Campus Life

There is always rice and bagels and the dining staff does their best to make a variety of foods, but typically it's pretty bland and there isn't much variety (very little meat, and what there is is flavorless). Always good desserts, but they go fast. There are other places to eat on campus but they aren't covered by meal plans.

one star. food at hampshire is awful. go sign up for a umass class for long enough to transfer some of your meals there and then drop the class.

Expensive but I always found something to eat, not sure about people with dietary restrictions though. I have a kitchen now, I didn't do this but if you can afford it I highly recommend getting a co-op from the farm. The dining commons uses all farm and local food I think. There are pick your own fields on the farm and apple trees all over campus in the fall which feels like a real luxury.

The food is ok. You don't always have to eat the cooked food (sometimes it's pretty bad). But there are very few options, and the food does get boring after a while.

Their new food provider is great. We have a large variety of choices: salad bar, sandwich bar, continental breakfast all day long, multitude of drinks... Their is also homemade food, aimed for comfort. A lot of the food is from the Farm, locally produced. All the vegetables are fresh and organic.

The food is a lot better than expected. As a freshman, I have unlimited meals at the dining hall. They do a very good job keeping it vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, etc... friendly. Everyday there is something new. Pizza is really good, but what I look forward to most is the stir-fry. It is available every single lunch and dinner.

Food is pretty good, and any food not eaten is donated to local shelters and food pantries. That is totally cool.

The food is okay, but it is always there, and it is buffet style, which means as many servings as you need.

The food at Hampshire is pretty bad and there's only one dining hall which closes way too early and often leads to students getting hungry at 10pm with no options. The Bridge, the school's cafe, is better, but not that good. The food comes from Sodexo, a company that also provides food to prisons as well. However, Hampshire does have more vegan and vegetarian options than most other schools.

The dinning hall wasn't my favorite

There is no Greek life at Hampshire.

Illegal in all the 5-colleges except UMass. We're pretty happy about it.

None. Because of where Hampshire is, there's no way you'll even run into people involved in Greek Life on campus.

This doesn't exist here.

There is no greek life on campus, which is actually something I find to be a positive aspect of Hampshire because we are all such different people that come together with no need for a greek life.

Non-existent.

No greek life here. That's very un-Hampshire.

Not at all.

None.

Non-existent.
