A Worcester newspaper in the early 90's rated the food services of the city's ten colleges, and WPI came in dead last. The quote from the article was along the lines of "Well, if you like peppercorns and Froot Loops, you're in luck". The man who became my father-in-law heard some of these stories and chalked it up to exaggeration, then tried some. A retired Navy officer with plenty of institutional chow experience, even he was disgusted.
