''Please update frequently with the availability of various beverages at different machines, card acceptance/rejection, eating of money, and any other advice/warnings.''
== 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 Coke Coca-Cola Co. has a deal with the college to provide free beverages in the dining halls in return for the exlusive right to put vending machines on campus, thus all soft drinks here may be justifiably gathered under the term "Coke. "
=== Schow Entrance '62 CTD Basement === Located in the depths of the lower level in the mini-kitchen, near the AMT green rooms. 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).
=== Bronfman Basement ===
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 occassion, 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.

It's a coke product machine underneath the staircase as you go down to the basement. It now accepts coins. Joy.
=== Bryant ===
Takes neither cards nor coins, so keep your dollars crisp. Make sure your item is in stock too, because it doesn't return those dollars either.
Note: NEVER WORKS.
===Carter===
This one is outside the building in the overhang. Card reader is broken.
=== Dodd Kitchen ===
Frequently problems with card reader. Some occasional problems with cash as well... coins are your best bet.
=== Jesup 2nd floor Fitch Basement === Near the pool table; a good alternative if the Prospect machine is empty or not working. However, quite frequently steals money. Also very convenient for Odd Quad residents trying to finish problem sets at 3 AM.
=== Goodrich, 2nd floor ===
A dark horse, reliable diet coke source which lurks next to the copy machine on the second floor.
=== Sawyer entrance Greylock Dining Hall ===
=== Mission ===
Machines on both sides.
The snack machine in the lounge/pool room gives an error message and steals $.75 about every other time a card is inserted.
Located in the basement. Was the cause of much frustration for certain upperclassmen living there this past summer; never accepted either cash or cards, necessitating the meticulous collection of loose coins before making a trip downstairs.
=== Greylock Dining Hall Perry House === Coke machine located in the side entrance. Frequently empty. === Prospect Basement=== If you're in the mood for [[Jagged Ice]], be warned. To get this most awesome of the [[Powerade]] varieties, you may have to push the button for the less awesome orange-colored Powerade variety. Very convenient for Odd Quad residents seeking caffeine at 3 AM. Has been known to give water instead of Powerade. === Sawyer entrance ===
=== Hopkins Basement Stetson near Office Services ===
=== Bryant Thompson ===
===Williams E===
=== Jesup ===
It's on the second floor, north side, and dispenses Minute Maid brand products. . . or eats your money.
=== Sage Basement ===
For a faultless vend, 24 hours a day (you might have to come in through the security door on the East side and walk down the whole hall... occasionally well worth it though). As of Nov. 30th, refuses to take coins, although still delivers when presented a crisp Washington.
=== Lasell Gym ===
Installed next to the Powerade vending machine at the entrance during Spring Break 2006. Perhaps the most ironically placed snack machine on campus.
=== Mission Lobby ===
Tucked in the corner of the room with the pool tables.
=== Prospect Bronfman Basement ===
=== Bronfman Basement Williams Hall ===
