What Students Are Saying
The food is great! All-you-can-eat and a wide spread of food choices every meal.
Austin from Bondurant, IA
I have not ate on property.
Katrina from Emmetsburg, IA
I thought the food was great with lots of options. There is lots of tables and space to eat and people watch or study. My favorite time to study is while I eat anyway.
Abigail from Waukee, IA
Each month we have a Marquise Brunch. It's one of our favorite parts of BVU because the food is outstanding and there is a ton of variety. The typical food served is good as well but like all school food, by the second semester you wish there was more variety.
Makenzie from Glenville, MN
Buena Vista's food is catered by Sodexo. There are a lot of varieties and they give you lots of healthy and different options. BVU uses student input to better their food and keep the students happy.
