If you find yourself in need of something quick on the way to class there is a large fast food court located in the Hub-Robeson Center (known on campus as "the Hub"). It is normally busy but the lines move very quickly, we recommends this place for quick and easy access to a meal.
View all of the choices that are located in the hub here.

A popular drink on college campuses has always been and will likely always be coffee. Here are some links to the best coffee shops and deli/bistro establishments on campus! PSU Moms favorites!
