    The food is ok. (In quotations) A lot of people complain about the food when they clearly deserve it because they do no work. McDonalds is across the street but that gets old, and gets the student more than the freshman fifteen, it gets you the freshman eighty five.

    The on campus food was good but the menu stayed the same. The location of the dining area was great. The dining area was clean.

    I'm prior military so I tend to not comment on the food in cafeteria's. There are a variety of choices so each individual have to make the best of the situation.
