Worcester dining commons is awesome! The food is great, there's a great variety, and for me the pizza is the best on campus, always crispy, cooked to perfection, and tasty. The only thing I don't love is the coffee because it's too strong.

Worcester Dining Commons is a recently renovated space that replaced the old Worcester DC.
The new Worcester is highly modernized, with a first floor cafe filled with seating areas and a Grab & Go system. The 3rd floor hosts a restaurant for more formal settings, while the 2nd floor contains the main student dining common. The dining common is modern looking, with most of the food centralized around a food hall design. The food has a lot of variety, with a focus on diverse cuisines ranging from Asian to Latin to Mediterranean. The food follows a set rotation, meaning that eventually you may get sick of it, but overall the food is much better than other colleges and the inclusion of various food events throughout the month help break the consistent schedule.
However, the biggest problem with the location is the seating. The old Woo used to have 3 separate seating locations, with it being spacious enough to support students at any times. The new dining common has a severe lack of space, meaning you may have to do multiple laps to find a table or cram in next to people. This makes it troublesome if you have a large friend group or are coming from after an event, as the dining hall gets too crowded.
Overall it's a great place to try when you are a new student or a current undergrad, but I'd try to come here when there isn't a lot of students.

Amazing good food... Did but expect that quality or variety. Lots of space and seating but still quite enough to have conversation.
