Sarratt Center
From GSCSurvivalGuide
The Madison Sarratt Student Center offers a wide variety of activities for students, faculty, and staff. The facility includes an art gallery, a cinema, dining options, study areas, and conference and meeting rooms available by reservation. A comprehensive overhaul of the Center was completed in the spring of 2000 adding offices for the Division of Student Life, Office of Greek Life, and for many student organizations, as well as new meeting rooms and bright, open gathering spaces. The GSC office is located in Sarratt 353.

Dining
- The Overcup Oak
- A pub that offers standard American fare and beer. It's generally filled with undergrads, so eat at your own risk. They're known for the Squirrel Meal (seriously).
- Rand Dining Center
- The constantly-updated Rand is a food court-style dining area. It is one of the main dining areas for undergraduates.
- Jr. Varsity Market
- A small convenience store next to Rand. It's a nice place to run in and grab a sandwich or a snack.
