    On campus cafeteria is called The Birdfeeder. It's pretty small and doesn't offer a wide variety of food. Most people who live on campus make their own food or go out to eat in the few places town.

    There was a elementary school-style hot lunch line when I attended with food that was inedible. Safer to stick to bringing your own or hitting up the vending machines.

    There are two decent places to eat on campus, there should be some better vegetarian choices tho. Less fried food, too.

    On Campus there is a cafeteria. The closest town has a few fast food and cafe's available. The few times I used the cafeteria, I was satisfied.

    There is no on-campus meal plan, but there is a small cafeteria and a cafe in the student activities center. I loved the cafe; they had the best coffee and lattes. I only ate at the cafeteria a few times, and it was kind of expensive, but the food was good. The food service people were always nice and helpful, and the facilities were always clean.

    The Birdfeeder Cafeteria was my favorite place for lunch! The school also provides a smaller Zollar Cafe in the Student Activity Center.

    There are two dining areas on campus. One is located in the college services building while the other is located in the recreation building, also known as the Student Activity Center. Each place has a healthy and affordable selection of foods for every taste.

    Far as I know there is only one and its Christian based, not sure if its co-ed or just for girls? There should be more.
