Affectionately known as the "Ratty", the Sharpe Refectory is arguably the social center of campus, serving over 1,500 students per meal. The Refectory is located on Wriston Quad and offers buffet-style dining. Tables are arranged around the central food lines, and there are front and back "caves" that create cozy corners to share a meal. The Refectory offers continuous all-you-care-to-eat service 7 days a week.
