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.
Awesome food and nice staff ... Here for a tournament ... Market style cafeteria.

Umass has the best dining in the country, and this dining common is a perfect example that shows the diversity of food they prepare for the students.

We were doing college tours and the three of us had lunch on campus. The food was quite average. For a school that is supposedly #1 in dining 7 years in a row we were surprised. 2 of the family ventured into some different wold inspired items and 1 of us stuck to staples like burgers. Their food was ok, looked good but tasted avg. I had a slice of pizza that was what I would expect from a high school and a burger that was an overcooked preformed puck. The college is still in the running, but not because of the food. Maybe we just went to the wrong dining hall on the wrong day, but out of the colleges we have eaten at, the consensus was that the food was far from #1.

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