I attended Skidmore from 1978-1982. Compared to what it was like back then, the dining hall is far and away a 5! It's a massacre. Those giving low ratings have no idea what college dining halls were once like, even at high-priced schools. It's been a huge change that has greatly benefited the younger generations. Be appreciative. If you had to eat the way we used to have to, you would probably be traumatized. It's interesting how it's possible to rate individual buildings on Skidmore campus and not just Skidmore itself.

The main cafeteria for Skidmore students, however, it may be the best all-you-can-eat dining experience in Saratoga County! Open to the public.

The food here is incredible for a college campus. They have great chefs working to provide a variety of food to appeal to a lot of students. There are always vegetarian options and often times vegan options too, even vegan pizza! If none of the options are appealing though there is even a diy station to make your own food, though it is often times busy, a place to order your own sandwich or wrap, and a place you can get a custom noodle bowl. Some of the food at Emily's garden comes from Skidmore's own garden and a lot of work goes into making the dining hall more sustainable. Also their vegan and non-vegan chocolate chip cookies are killer. Overall an amazing place to have as a student and still a treat if you're not.

Absolutely the best college dining hall I've ever eaten at, if not the best dining hall in the United States! It is honestly better than most restaurants I've been to. My sibling had the privilege to be able to eat here regularly for 4 years, and I'm jealous!
