Dining Commons

Hampshire's Dining Commons (also known as SAGA) is located between Dakin K and Merrill C. All students living in Residence Halls and first-semester students are required to be on the Full Meal Plan, which consists of unlimited meals at the Dining Commons and $250 at the Bridge Cafe and Kern Kafe. Many students have a hate-love-hate relationship with SAGA.

SAGA got it's name from the Dining Commons previous previous food provider, although many assume that it is one of Hampshire's many acronyms, which may be why it is often capitalized.

Allegedly (presumably in the early 2010s), SAGA was also once known as Roberta's, in reference to a well-loved meal card swiper, Roberta.
