Huden Dining Hall — Local services in Castleton

The combo of Huden's terrible food and the lack of regular kitchen access in the dorms are two of the biggest reasons I moved off campus. No one wants to live off pizza, chicken nuggets, and grilled cheese. Also if you're vegetarian or vegan you either are forced to buy other food outside of your meal plan or you have to live with the fact that you'll be eating the exact same rice and quinoa several times a day. You'd think that if the grill station is serving burgers, the vegetarian section would have veggie burgers or black bean burgers, and you would be wrong. The lack of labels on food is also a nightmare. Sometimes they just serve cookies with bacon in them, and you have no way of knowing until you accidentally eat one and learn to identify them based on appearance. If you ask whether or not there's meat or nuts (or other allergens) in the food when the signs aren't up or accurate, often staff will respond negatively, or say they're "pretty sure there isn't any."

Long story short, Huden is a nightmare and I'm sorry for anyone who's still stuck eating there. Godspeed, and may your stomach...

Huden is my least favorite thing about Castleton University. Thanks for serving me the same food every day for 4 years. Maybe appealing for a one-time visit, but not food anyone should live off from.

Also, I'm a vegetarian, and knowing how limited my options already are (I eat rice and quinoa every night of my life and drown it in soy sauce for flavor, please save me), I would starve to death if I were vegan.

Vegetarian options at huden include: rice, quinoa, salad bar, more salad, ice cream, cookies (but occasionally with bacon inside), pasta, cheese pizza, bagels, and muffins.

Some of the staff are very kind, while some of them are very rude and don't appreciate when I ask them if there is meat in the food.

Have fun eating your grilled cheese and discovering ham inside, and have fun eating a cookie only to discover there are nuts inside! Huden doesn't label any of their food. My experience here would be eons better if I knew what the food even was that I am eating.

On top of everything, have fun paying $3,000+ per year for this...

HUDEN is trash, if I could leave ZERO stars I would! And dont think this is just one bad experience, I’ve gone to school there and had to eat it and its awful basically jail food. DONT...
