What Students Are Saying

Though there will always be people who complain about food, and though college food will never be as good as a home-cooked meal, M.C.L.A's dining services are pretty darn tasty! I have enjoyed many of the meals that they cook up. There is a wide variety of food every day and for every meal. Each meal is all-you-can-eat, so whether you're going in for a quick bite or staying awhile to chow down, the food is easily accessible and there is plenty of it. It is also refreshed quickly, so that students get good, hot meals.

It's not that bad, it just gets old. You really appreciate your mom's cooking. :)

As part of your meal plan, you get money each semester for the P.O.D. It's our on-campus convenience store. Make this money last the whole semester and try not to blow through it right away. You can also use this at Subway or the coffee shop.

We also get Blazer Bucks. You can use this for delivery or eating at many local places in town.

Our food service has just changed to no trans-fats.
