Places To Eat On Campus At SUNY Geneseo

Anyone that's been at SUNY Geneseo for awhile has most likely tried every place to eat there is on campus. This article is more for the freshman, who are trying to figure out what there is out there. Tastes vary for everyone, so instead of reviewing these places, I'm going to describe them so that you can go to the places you're most interested in and try the food yourself. That way you can be the judge of whether you feel those places are worth going to eat or not. Every place I'm going to list accepts meal plan as payment.

1. Fusion (in the College Union)

Without a doubt, one of the most famous things to eat on campus is stir fry from Fusion. It's delicious, but beware, the fact is that the line for it takes a really long time. If you get in line, more often than not, be prepared to wait for about 30 minutes. Also, at Fusion is a sandwich area as well as something that I can most closely compare to a college version of Chipotle. Fusion is great for full on meals.

2. Chowhound (goes all around campus)

Chowhound is SUNY Geneseo's own personal food truck. It serves meals like burgers, salads, and wraps as well as smaller things such as french fries, fried ravioli, and mac and cheese bites.The food is great, but it's always difficult to pinpoint where exactly it's going to be at any given time.

3. Starbucks (in the College Union)

I'm not going to even bother with this one because, really, we should all know what Starbucks is and what's served there. But just like the stir fry line, be prepared for occasionally having to wait for quite awhile.

4. Books & Bytes (in the library)

Books & Bytes is mostly just quick food. Bagels, muffins, cookies, coffee, and then the refrigerated items that are sold all over campus. They also have an area where you can get different kinds of paninis and breakfast/brunch sandwiches. Books & Bytes is really just food to keep you going while you're at the library studying or for snacking on something between classes.

5. Uncle Vito's (call for delivery)

Uncle Vito's delivers pizza, buffalo wings, and pizza logs. It also delivers sweets like cinnamon twists. Their number is (585)-245-5160. Not many people use it, but it's so convenient. I love that I don't have to get out of my dorm to get my food.

5. MJ Dining Hall

At MJ, there are salads and smoothies served upstairs. Downstairs, there's a pasta area that is loved by everyone. Again, though, the line gets long and so does the wait. It also has an area that serves different things depending on what time of day it is. In the morning, it serves breakfast foods like omelets, bacon and eggs, and home fries. In the afternoon, it serves lunch foods like chicken tenders, grilled chicken sandwiches, and french fries. Starting this year, MJ is going to be open for dinner as well, so the same food served during lunch will be served throughout the rest of the day until it closes. MJ also has different special food for different days of the week. For example, they have Taco Tuesdays (literally my favorite day of the week).

6. Max Market (Letchworth Dining Hall)

Max Market is on the ground level of Letchworth Dining Hall. They have an area where they serve burgers and fries, an area where wraps and salads are served, an area where pizza and sandwiches are served. Finally, there's an area that serves ice cream and a variety of desserts. Max Market is a big favorite on campus as well.

7. Food Studio North (Letchworth Dining Hall)

Food Studio North is on the upper level of Letchworth Dining Hall. It's a pay-one-price location, kind of like a buffet. They serve traditional American food, Asian cuisine, and Italian cuisine. They also have vegetarian and vegan options, as well as a gluten-friendly kitchen and a kosher kitchen. In additinon, there is an area designated for sweets and ice cream. It's always a gamble whether the food is going to be good there or not on a particular day. Sometimes you leave really satisfied, other times you leave feeling like you wasted your meal plan. There's a digital menu right at the bottom of the stairs so you can check it out before going upstairs.

And previously, there was also Red Jacket Dining Hall and Southside Cafe nearwhere all the freshman housing is, but that's been closed for renovations, leading to extended hours for all the other places on this list.

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.
