I like getting creative with desserts in Dewick. First it was all about the soft serve. Put a little bit of marshmallow fluff inside a cake cone before the ice cream and it’s amazing. Then, I moved on to the dessert waffle. It’s a beautiful thing. Nutella, bananas, strawberries, whipped cream. Yes. Wonderful. Then, I started microwaving cookies. That’s really good too. But lately, I’m very into the milkshake. Get some soft serve in a cup and mix it with half and half. Does that sound way too decadent and gross? It’s not. I have a stash of straws from Hodgdon in my backpack for these Dewick milkshakes. Try it and you’ll never go back.

Walking into DeWick and seeing all the different vegetarian options (which had more food choices than my high school had), as well as the nutrition labels above the food was the moment I knew Tufts was for me. Aside from caring about my health, I knew Tufts students cared about what they were putting into their bodies as much as I did.
