Campus Life

The Dining Center is so good. The food choice is great and you can always go back for more.

I would for sure give our Dining Center 5 stars! I remember when I was in high school looking at other campus', the one thing that always turned me off was how bad their food was! However, I was (and still am) blown away but how good our food was. We have so many options just in the DC: customized pasta, pizza, customized stir-fry, burgers, the list goes on and on! In addition to this we have The Grill which is our restaurant on campus and we have the Royal Grounds which is our coffee shop (Caribou Coffee.) All of the workers are so nice which makes going there 10X more enjoyable! The best part of our Dining center is defiantly the deserts...they are SO good.

The food is very good, and we have a beautiful dining hall. We have a wide array of food, but it doesn't necessarily change that often. Because of that, the food can get quite repetitive.

Bethel has a 97% from scratch kitchen. They make almost everything there at the school, and even grow some of their own herbs and vegetables. Every so often, they have specialty food days, where they make food from a specific country or in a certain style (France or Cajun-style, for example). They say when you leave, you learn as much about food as if you had taken a class on cuisine. I am a person with a plethora of food allergies, and dining is always a problem for me. When I came to Bethel, I met with the head chef, and he took me on a tour of the entire kitchen, showing me places I could find things to eat, and things and food to watch out for. I was always well fed. (Vegetarian and gluten-free diets also accommodated.)
