  Food
So most of you realize that there will be a need to consume food while at Wesleyan. As freshmen, you will become bff (most likely enemies though) with these two main frosh dining places:

Mocon: All you can eat. This place accepts meals from your meal plan. Food is decent, but becomes very monotonous come mid-November. There are vegetarian and vegan options, but not to the extent that vegans/vegetarians are satisfied with. There is also meat, but being a meat eater myself, I was not impressed with the meat. Boo hiss Aramark. Mocon is where most freshmen go, and you'll sometimes find sophs, juniors and seniors there. The top of the balcony is where you go to make announcements regarding parties, sports events, dances, plays, bands, etc. They have fabulous brunches on the weekend, with lots and lots of delicious breakfast foods.
NOTE: As an evolving freshmen, you will learn to steal food from Mocon. This skill will be more useful after freshmen year because it will help you (possibly) conserve points. The trick is to bring lots of tupperware, a big bag, and sit far far away from where any person is working. Do not take the milk though, because it goes bad only after a day or so in your fridge. Believe me I'd know. :
Summerfields: Only open on the weekdays and late at night, Summerfields is different than Mocon because they offer about 5 different actual meals, and these change every week (and are different for lunch and dinner). You order one of the options, and this is given to you on a plate, and then you can treat yourself to the salad bar, soup, bread, dessert, etc.
NOTE: You can ask for meals to go, get your meal put in a container, and eat the soup, salad, bread, fruit, dessert as your actual meal and then eat the "leftover" food for dinner that night. This system also works better when you're on points as opposed to meals.


I really don't feel like elaborating on the rest. Maybe someone else can pick up where I left off...
