Sodexho Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How can I avoid the freshmen 15?

A: It is not an absolute definite that you will gain the freshmen 15 after arriving to school.  For most students this is the first time living on your own and having to make your own decisions from how to spend your money to the foods that you consume.  One way to make a smooth transition to the campus setting without packing on the pounds, is to implement healthy lifestyle choices now.  Making good choices, eating a varied diet while practicing moderation, and incorporating exercise into your daily route will greatly decrease the chances of gaining any freshmen weight.

Q: Are there vegetarian options?

A:  Vegetarian options are offered everyday in the dining hall. Sodexho has implemented a vegetarian station in the serving area to meet the demands of the student body.  This station has a variety of made –to-order” options as well as prepared salads and soups.

A:  That is for you to judge, but most students enjoy the foods served at the dining hall.  There is a vast arrangement of food offerings which makes it is easy to find something to your liking. 

Q: Are there healthy options available?

A: There are many healthy options offered in the dining hall on a daily basis.  It is up to you to make good choices for yourself.
