    There are two restaurants on campus, although the owners have changed 3-4 times while I've attended. The food is always delicious, but the prices just keep going up. It's good in an emergency if you dont have the time or means to go off-campus for a meal, but if you can I recommend going to one of the many restaurants just off of campus.

    Parkland's cafeteria is great, and not too pricey. You can enjoy fresh cooked meals, with real ingredients during breakfast and lunch hours. The only downfall is that it is not open during evening class hours.

    There are 2 places within the building to get food, the cafeteria and a pizza place. I have never had food from the cafeteria but the pizza place wasn't very good. I just leave campus and get food elsewhere in between classes.

    Parkland has a wonderful Cafe'. I go there a lot when I get out of class, it's a great pick me up. I especially like the little sub sandwiches they have!
