I wouldn’t do Antioch justice without mentioning the food service. On the second floor of Antioch, there is a small kitchen with a variety of foods for breakfast, lunch, and snacks. The staff is always friendly, and the food is high quality.
I am always in a rush in the morning, and Antioch’s breakfast provides a quick meal I can enjoy in class. I almost always make a stop for a pastry and coffee before rushing off to my first class. The selection varies, but I always find something tempting – a scone, banana bread, coffee cake, etc. and a coffee. There’s a coffee club card for one free coffee after 10 coffee purchases, and I make good use of those. Coffee refills are available for a discounted price if the same cup is used – great pick-me-up during class break. Egg sandwiches and yogurt with granola are also available.
At lunch, there is usually a selection of soups and sandwiches (Tomato cheddar soup is one of my personal favorites). Taco salads are also popular among the students. The food is freshly prepared and served hot or cold depending on the selection. A variety of drinks are also available. I’ve never had anything I didn’t enjoy.
Homemade cookies, brownies, and other treats are also available for dessert or an afternoon snack.
Without doubt, Donna’s kitchen is a bright spot at Antioch. I once heard a classmate say that the food service atmosphere was one of the deciding factors in her decision to come to Antioch.

Hi. I am looking into the CMCH program at Antioch, and am just hoping to hear from some people currently in the program how the experience has been for you. I am a certified yoga teacher and yoga therapist, and am working at a Buddhist retreat center now. I’m wondering if you could see the tools of body awareness and mindfulness really being used as a counselor. Also, were the classes fun? Challenging? Helpful? What did you like about the program, what didnt you like? Are there job opportunities in this field? (I’m hoping to be a college counselor?)Any information would be very appreciated. Thank you.
