A lot of people are very critical of the Cowan dining hall. As an individual with food sensitivities, Cowan is the best dining hall I have experienced. I specifically have a gluten sensitivity, and I admire the options and food safety offered at Cowan. Everything in the dining hall is labeled with possible allergens and whether it is gluten-free. This allows students like me to rely on Cowan for consistent meals without having to worry about paying for overpriced restaurant food or meal-prepping meals for the week. Cowan’s diligent work in ensuring the allergen labels are accurate allows students with allergies to enjoy the college experience without worrying about their next meal. While there might be complaints made by other students, my only critique is that a wider variety of fruit would be nice, and so would the option of greek yogurt. Overall, Cowan allows me to have a better college experience.
