Student Responses to Review Topic: Food And Dining

    The food at the Northwoods Dining Center (aka Wallies) is pretty good. They have pretty much anything you want to eat plus a homecooked meal each lunch and dinner and a special bar type thing each day. It's also a buffet. There's a convenience store in the same building that has pretty much anything you would expect a convenience store to have. Lakeside food court is also good. There are multiple places you can go and get food; like I said, it's a food court. They just added two new places this semester, actually.

    There are multiple choices on campus for dining experiences. Unfortunately, many of the options are a little more expensive than outside sources. It is quite convenient, though, since you are given a certain amount of Flex dollars and do not have to produce real cash at that time.

    There are many options for dinning, one campus you don't have to use money, there is a meal plan where you can get beaver bucks and its all on a card so you don't need to carry around loose cash. There are many places to eat on campus.

    Breakfest here is the best. Dinner isn't always good because it can get repetative. I do wish there was more options on what to eat.

    There's always a lot of options when it comes to food, and if you go to wally's there's unlimited ice cream. (: They also have the nutrition facts displayed by the entrees so you know exactly what you're putting into your body.

    Bemidji State offers a great variety of food for each meal. There are so many options to choose from. Even in Bemidji you have a great choice of food when you do not want to eat on campus.

    They have a lot of options for food. Most of the options are healthy but there are some unhealthy ones. Like any other college food it gets repetitive after a while.

    We have one sorority, and one fraternity and they're both relatively small. They're pretty easy to get into, and they throw some big parties, but their dropout rates are known to be pretty high.

    The Greek life is flourishing at BSU with two fraternities and sororities that promote religious values and social gatherings that allow all college students to feel right at home.
