<p>We ate at Dewick during Parents’ Weekend this year and did not notice any of the problems you mentioned. It was sunny and pleasant, the food was fresh and good, and staff was friendly. My son eats almost all his meals there (it’s nearest to his dorm). </p>
<p>We also ate at Carmichael when we toured Tufts but I also did not notice those issues then, either. However, we did notice how happy the students were and how lively and engaged they were with each other. That made such a deep impression on my son that it became a part of his “Why Tufts” essay.</p>
