The JMU Dining Halls, Ranked Worst To Best

Who's the winner?

The JMU Dining Halls, Ranked Worst To Best
JMU / Instagram

JMU is ranked fifth in the nation for best dining hall food, and we're damn proud of it. For the most part, you can't go wrong with whatever you choose to eat on campus; however, some of our dining locations are undeniably better than others. Presented to you here is a complete list of JMU dining halls, listed from worst to best:

11. D-Hub.

Let's face it, D-Hub isn't going to be JMU's poster child for "best and brightest dining hall" anytime soon. Most of the food all somehow tastes like the color beige, and the tent atmosphere leaves something to be desired. That being said, the dessert station usually redeems the dining facility. We ARE still number five in the nation.

10. Mrs. Green's.

Unless you have the unfortunate displeasure of living in Lakeside, you might not even have heard of this healthy soup and salad place. The students who rave about the (rather underwhelming) hot sandwiches are really just sad Eagle Hall residents who are just happy to be eating something, anything at all. Trust me, I speak from experience.

9. Fueled.

It's the Asian-Fusion food truck sitting right next to Nacho Papi's. That's all many of us know. It's higher on the list just because of the variety it offers.

8. UREC Cafe.

Most of the UREC smoothies are pretty amazing, especially after a hard workout. The crepes and rice bowls aren't too bad, either.

7. Nacho Papi's.

Who hasn't had a craving for totchos? (For those who don't know, that's nachos with tater tots on them.) The food at Papi's doesn't always sit well on an empty stomach, but the taste is worth it.

6. Madison Grille.

If you're willing to spend a couple punches for more upscale food, Madison Grille is the place to go. Stay away from the cavatappi alfredo (it doesn't have much flavor) but the crab cake sandwich and banana pudding are to die for.

5. Top Dog.

The hot fries are hands down the best thing about Top Dog, closely followed by all the dumplings at the Mongolian station. However, it can't quite beat out its downstairs rival...

4. PC Dukes.

There's nothing more satisfying than using up all your extra punches on Saturday nights at Dukes. The combination of the casual atmosphere and the excellent variety of good food makes Dukes a top choice for JMU students.

3. Bistro 1908.

Everything about Bistro 1908 puts the success in Student Success Center. If you're willing to wait a few minutes, treat yourself to some burgers or delicious Italian cuisine.

2. Festival.

Festival is the Dukes of East Campus, except it's even better with the taste bud blessings of gourmet grilled cheese, acai bowls, curly fries, and savory skillets. Personally, I always enjoy adding guacamole to my Burger Studio sandwiches.

1. E-Hall.

Finally, our winner. There's literally nothing bad about E-Hall. On Saturday and Sunday mornings, hungover students are willing to drag themselves out of their beds for hot waffles at brunch. The open environment and incredible variety make E-Hall JMU's real dining hall superstar.

You've got to admit, all of the food here is spectacular (yes, even D-Hub), and at the end of the day, we're all just proud to be Dukes.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
