<p>Haha these posts are making me hungry!</p>
<p>My D is at MHC and she is raving about the food. We ate in her dining hall 3 times this weekend and it was tremendously better than the college food I had back in the day! They have monthly (?) dinners called “Gracious Dinners” where the dining halls get set with tablecloths and linen napkins and have a theme. This Saturday was a Sustainable Dinner, with really wonderful local food including a sirloin roast, local vegetables, and some spectacular desserts. There were a bunch of vegan/GF/vegetarian options, too, as there were at every meal we ate there. I was really impressed with the salad bar which was extremely complete and VERY fresh. There is also a Halal and kosher dining hall. There are 7 dining hall options that each have their own chef, so they are known for different things. You can check online what’s being served where to decide where to eat. Some have unique offerings such as an Asian noodle bar or the kosher/hahal meals. My D’s dorm has ice cream every night, which is apparently very popular :)</p>
<p>In addition to regular meals, MHC dorms have a tradition called “M and Cs” every school night. “Milk and cookies” - it is a study break time with some sort of treat: cookies, cupcakes, etc…</p>
