Back to School: Spring 2024 Edition

Being a freshman at college can be quite overwhelming, and our Harvest Table Culinary Group teams are always working hard to make each semester exciting!

For our back-to-school feature, we interviewed some rising seniors about what they wish they knew as freshmen. Here are their responses about Deacon Dining:

• “The Pit always publishes their menu on their website for breakfast, lunch, and dinner so you can always check in advance.”
• “Harvest Table offers an upscale dining option every weekday for lunch inside the Mag room.”
• “Students with dietary restrictions can contact Harvest Table’s RD, Madison Fishler to ask questions or go over personal concerns.”
• “Students can apply for the Stress Less Pantry which offers gluten-free and dairy-free options”
• “Pitsgiving is the biggest Deacon Dining event so make sure to be early and save a table!”
• “If you run out of food dollars you can purchase more through dining.wfu.edu”
• “Eating at the Pit alone shouldn’t be your biggest fear.”
• “You are able to increase or decrease your meal plan up until August 1st for the 2023 fall semester.”
• “ You can check your food dollar balance on WIN.”
• “Doing a full lap around the Pit is a must before choosing what you want! They often sneak some goodies by the pizza station.”
• “Being nice to Pit workers is really rewarding”
• “You can leave napkin notes as feedback on the board in front of dish drop-off.” 
• “Monday nights at the Pit are always busy but it’s a perfect time to meet people.”
