All Haverford students can eat and Bryn Mawr Dining Halls and vice-versa. Same goes for Swarthmore (the Tri-Co wouldn’t work very well if you were taking a class at another school but were starving for lunch if you did). Bryn Mawr is run by the same dining services company as Haverford and they have the nearly identical menus with the exception of Haffner’s Dining hall.

Breakfast, Lunch and Brunch are all fine at Haverford. Dinner is always the problem because (1) we have one dining center that serves ALL of the 900 or so students on the meal plan (2) within that group of people, many different eating interests (3) a very limited food budget. As a result, dinner food can sometimes be underspiced, boring, and drab. The DC staff is amazing is about taking suggestions and input about problems with food. They’ve also done a lot to give you alternative options all the time, i.e. a salad bar, pasta bar, sandwich bar, the George Foreman grills. I wouldn’t say Haverfood is great, and I won’t deny the fact that I do order out for dinner a fair amount. However, I think that with the funding the the DC works with, they do the best job they can at giving us a balanced meal.
