What do you think of the Saga renovation?

Adaobi Onunkwo, freshman, Biology major

“The resources could have been allocated elsewhere. Didn’t the funds come from a partnership between Sodexo and Earlham? I would rather have the employees treated better, or an improvement of the food. On a positive note, the renovation is aesthetically pleasing.”

David Walker Jr., sophomore, Japanese Studies major

“The booth tables in the center of the room are problematic. The diameter of those tables is five inches too short. It’s disgusting. It makes me angry. On a brighter note, the color scheme is delightful. Makes the food taste better.”

Dylan Drooger, junior, Politics major

“The renovation’s look reminds me of a hotel airport, like a Marriott or something. I like how the carpet softens the noise of chairs falling, so no one can clap.”

Leandra Juliet-Kelly, senior, Music major

“I like the renovation. It has a warmer atmosphere. In Saga, there is a lot of apparent social division, but the renovation mixes it up a little bit. Also, the booths make you feel less like an intruder upon other people’s dining experiences. I like the colors and the carpet!”

Lynett Werner “The Checker”

“I like the renovation because it made Saga feels more inviting. I love the colors.”

Oda Davenger, junior, Philosophy major

“At first I was skeptical. But now, I’ve come to like the renovation for the colors, carpet and booths. Now if only they could revamp the food as well! Also, the old chandeliers were way cooler.”

Rich Frank, sophomore, HDSR major

“I think the renovation is very nice. It feels more communal, and less overwhelming.”
