    Dining was excellent. But I wasn't happy once when I accidentally dropped a little bit of food on the counter and one of the employees which was a student rolled her eyes and had some attitude. I think the the management or those in charge need to work on costumer service for student employees.

    There's always several options for meals; there's a salad bar, pizza, a hamburger bar, fruits and veggies and dessert in addition to the main entree every day.

    The food on campus is very good, and not very expensive. I would eat here before any fast food place.

    Its normal dining hall food, but they do mix it up and have many healthy options. They do a good job of catering to food allergies too.

    Its alright for the first few months, but just like if you eat at any restaurant every day for a long time, everything starts to taste the same

    My cousin works at a local apres-ski restaurant as a chef, so the food had better be outstanding. I have always planned to visit, but never have. From what I hear, the food, as well as the drinks, are just as one would expect; outdoorsy and adventurous.

    I love not having to cook for myself during the week! The food in Hannon Ding Hall is some of the best on campus (of 3 dining halls). It's cafeteria style, with the feel of a cozy restaurant. The salad bar is really good, and the food is almost always great. And if all else fails, you can always have a taco, burger, or cereal!

    I have only had the opportunity to eat at one of the dining halls on campus once, again this is because I am living off campus and have my own meal plan. However, the experience I did have was a good one. I thought that the food was very nutritious and very tasty. The dining areas are all very clean as well as the kitchens. I feel that all these qualities make for a good eating experience.

    Dining halls are easy to get to, not a long walk at all. Dining halls provide safe information and different food for those who have food allergies. A variety of food could be provided more. Not a lot of choices. Dining halls are not 24 hours.

    The Greek Live here in Bozeman is somewhat legendary in my opinion. It seems that as you venture off campus you cannot help but run into at least one sorority or frat house.

    The frats here aren't very good in my opinion but the sororities seem like they are a good thing to be apart of.
