What Students Are Saying

The food is awesome, you have the choice of buffet or any of the local restaurants.
Trevon from Chicago, IL
I eat most of my meals in the dining hall at school. They have a fully staffed dining area, and there is always something for everyone, no matter what your diet is.
Redell from Edwardsville, IL
McKendree always has something going on. In the Hettenhausen Center for the Arts (the Hett), there are performances and movies all the time, most of which are free or dirt cheap for students. Sporting events go on all year round, also cheap for students. Also, Campus Activities Board has concerts, comedians, game nights, movie nights, and other fun activities weekly (not to mention all of the other student organizations who plan activities--all free!). If you're not into campus life, we are about 30 minutes from downtown St. Louis, one of the few big cities left in the country with free attractions everywhere! The St. Louis Zoo, art museum, history museum, and some seats at the Muny (outdoor theater) are all free. Also, go up in the Arch for a small fee. St. Louis is a great city for broke college kids.
Chelsea from Highland, IL
The cafeteria has its good days and its bad. After a while eating the same food becomes old. They do however have a nice taste to their food.
Diandra from Lebanon, IL
The food is the best!!! The food is always fresh and on point. The cafeteria is clean and neat and can handle the lunch rush.
Jordan from Summit, IL
There are great choices and it's all at a reasonable price as well.
