    The food is defiantly better than a lot of other campuses and always has great options to choose from.

    The cafeteria food is not as bad as most people will tell you. Outside of campus food there are some really great places for cheeseburgers and pastas.

    Best college food I have ever had. Its not a home cooked meal, but it hits the spot. You can have the main dish or you can go over to salad bar, deli, grill, or grab a slice of pizza.
