Esposito dining hall is considered a cosmopolitan canopy due to the rich diversity that it attracts, it is often times plagued by the division of individuals based off of differences in race and background. The vast assortment of food the dining hall offers attracts students and faculty of various ethnicities and cultures. As one enters the entrance of the dining hall, there is a gluten-free food station called Simple Servings to accommodate those who are allergic to gluten or just for people who prefer to eat gluten-free food for nutritional benefits. The options range from baked Pollock, roasted red potatoes, and cucumber salad to dishes like Cuban rice and grilled chicken. Typically, this station is fairly empty; majority of those in the dining hall flock towards stations to the right of Simple Servings, which contains unhealthier options.
