<p>Hi,
I’ve always considered Brandeis my dream school (especially living in the castle), however my mom heard and told me that the dining on campus was really bad this year and people were complaining a lot. We found a group on facebook where a bunch of current students would complain and post pictures of what was wrong with the food, and some of it’s pretty gross - <a href=“Redirecting...”>Redirecting...</a> (this is the group)</p>
<p>I also saw that there was even a protest that happened, but is anything going to change? Link to that: <a href=“http://www.thejustice.org/article/2014/09/students-protest-sodexo-meal-plan-changes-and-new-dining-protocols”>http://www.thejustice.org/article/2014/09/students-protest-sodexo-meal-plan-changes-and-new-dining-protocols</a></p>
<p>I’m worried about applying if the food will be this bad and expensive when I’m there, but can any current students say anything?? Thank you :)</p>
<p>Ugh, that FB group does make the food sound gross! We toured there and they made it seem as though the food was very good, but I’ve heard that Sodexo is AWFUL and at least according to that FB group, Brandeis uses Sodexo. </p>
<p>Hope some current students say they like the food.</p>
<p>We were at their Fall Preview Day yesterday, and all the kids we talked to were pretty happy with the food. I know that they have made some changes recently, so maybe that made the difference. The food they served the visitors was very good (though that doesn’t mean anything). My son ate lunch there when he visited last spring and he loved it. He’s vegetarian, so we can’t speak to any meat or fish based food.</p>
<p>Hm. I wonder what Admissions might have to say about this…I believe they undertook all kinds of cost-cutting methods this year, and there was a great outcry at the result. One can only hope they get their act together and find more pleasant ways to cut costs in the future.</p>
