Campus Life

The food isn't bad. There is no food. Well, there's a cafe kinda place, but it's just like a normal cafe, with normal prices. You can't eat there every day any more than you could go out to the pizza parlor every day. But you do have your own kitchen, and there are stores, and if you really need it a couple blocks down is Eat Street.

They have a sizable cafeteria. MCAD is a few blocks away from Nicolette Ave. (Aka Eat Street) with a wealth of food options from all around the world.

the cafe in the school has good food, that isn't super expensive. sometimes, the food is a little off, or really greasy, but they have a good selection of food for both for vegetarians and vegans, too. the food is cooked there on location, and specialized per what you order.

If cooking in your dorm isn't for you, there is a nice cafeteria on-campus. It can get a little pricey, but you can buy a meal card ahead of time to help you out (plus, you always get a ticket that eventually gives you a free meal). The meal options aren't bad! There are also lots of local restaurants that are amazing. I recommend going to pho noodle soup restaurants in the winter.

Within less than two blocks from campus you can come across a range of restaurants. From The Bad Waitress Coffee Shop to Pho Hoe Vietnamese Restaurant and Christos Greek Restaurant to A Slice Of New York. And along with food there's coffee at the Spyhouse Coffee Shop.

The cafeteria is a good place to get food when you are hungry, and the prices are reasonable. If you don't like the cafeteria food there are plenty of restaurants around. Also, downtown Minneapolis is pretty close as well.

mcad has a fantastic cafeteria that offers many options at reasonable prices for students. there are many healthy options including vegetarian menu items. all apartments are equipped with range ovens and students are also encouraged to cook on their own.

There is a little bistro in the Main Building, a lot of people go there between classes. If you live on campus you pretty much provide your own food-the apartments have a small kitchen with a stove, oven, fridge, sink, etc. So factoring expenses for food is very important if you're considering this school. If you don't want to cook Eat Street is walking distance from campus, giving one a variety of foods to choose from. There is a really nice local coffee shop, The Nicollet, which has great sandwiches and coffee.
