== Coke machines ==
"Soda" is actually called ''pop'' [http://www.popvssoda.com by some people]. Others try to please most demographics by refering to it as "soda pop," while still others, for some inexplicable reason, call all varieties of soda "coke." The title of this section is able to sidestep this issue, as Coca-Cola Co. has a deal with the college to provide free beverages in the dining halls in return for the exlusive exclusive right to put vending machines on campus, thus all soft drinks here may be justifiably gathered under the term "Coke."
=== '62 CTD Basement ===
Located in the depths of the lower level in the mini-kitchen, near the AMT green rooms. Is both empty and seemingly dysfunctional. The card reader does not work and if you ask for your dollar bill back it gives you quarters instead. This machine is notable for being one of the few on campus that distributes CANS of soda, rather than plastic bottles. On one hand, you get less soda per order- on the other hand, sometimes you just want to satisfy a small craving, not chug a 400+ fl. oz bottle. This machine is perfect for those times. Also, each can is only 65 cents. That's AMAZING when compared to the exorbitant pricing of some machines (I'm looking at you, dollar-twenty-five-soda-machine-just-outside-of-Schow).

Albeit unreliable when it comes to using change (the coin slot has been broken for quite some while), the soda machine takes cards and dollar bills. Located on the 2nd floor of Spencer, in the nook next to the couches.

A good alternative if the Schow machine is empty. Has been known to emit two bottles of diet coke for the price of one on more than one occasion, perhaps due to the fact that the bottle sometimes gets stuck while being dispensed and some don't think to reach up and pull it out. It can be frustrating, however, that there are three slots for regular coke despite the fact that diet coke is frequently sold out.

A dark horse, reliable diet coke source which lurks next to the copy machine on the second floor.
 
=== Greylock Dining Hall ===
 
What was the point of putting vending machines behind doors that would be locked at night, when students would need them most?
=== Hopkins Basement ===
Has been known to give water instead of Powerade.
=== Sawyer entrance Basement ===
Infrequently empty.
Tucked in the corner of the room with the pool tables.

If you're studying in Schow and the machine there is out of your favorite treat, sneak over to this under-utilized gem.
=== Williams Hall ===
By the washing machines under Willy E/F. Occasionally eats up money on your card, so it's better to pay with cash.
