Rollins has some of the best campus food anywhere in the country, according to The Princeton Review and the College’s own students. The test-prep heavyweight placed Rollins at No. 11 in the Best Campus Food category of its annual ranking of the nation’s best 390 colleges.

The Best Campus Food ranking was based on a survey that asked students across America, “How do you rate your campus food?” In the survey, Rollins students said they appreciated “the quality and options for dining,” particularly “the amazing take-as-much-as-you-need dining hall, which is included with the meal plan.”

The recognition from The Princeton Review is the latest in a long line of accolades for Rollins’ dining. The College’s culinary acumen has also been recognized among the nation’s best by everyone from Niche and College Consensus to The Daily Meal and PETA2.

In 2021, Rollins also won a Loyal E. Horton Dining Award from the National Association of College & University Food Services. The award, which recognizes “exemplary menus, presentations, special event planning, and new dining concepts,” is one of the highest dining honors among colleges and universities.

The College is committed to consistently expanding and enhancing its campus dining offerings. In keeping with that commitment, Rollins unveiled a new cafe in Olin Library this fall and announced plans to incorporate a new dining venue at East End Neighborhood, a 297-bed residential community that is scheduled to be completed by fall 2026.
