What Students Are Saying
There are a lot of great options around the campus. You can either dine in the cafeteria or their are places where you can get different types of food. My favorite is eating at the deli, it has good food for a decent price and it's easy to stop at on your way to class.
Megan from St Joseph, MO
MWSU is all about good food to eat. Visit the cafeteria it's an all-you-can-eat buffet! You'll find everything pizza, pasta, even Mongolian Barbeque! The food doesn't stop there. You don't have to eat there. You can go to the burger shop, subway, Einsteins bagels, we even have our own little convenience store that has college student hours. Open until 3a.m!!
Alyssa from St Joseph, MO
All housing includes meal plans so that you can never go hungry. The food is my favorite part about the school . From our all you can rat cafertia, to out flex card food. Quiz-nos subs, burger studios, Eisenstein bagels, to our C-store that is like a min mart.
Lauren from Kansas City, MO
Food and Dining here is not the best quality but there is definitely quantity. In our cafeteria we have a buffet all day long every day. From a salad bar to a stir fry counter, pasta and pizza, dessert and unlimited soda machine. We also have little stores all around campus such as Quiznos or coffee shops, and even a mini grocery store. We also have vending machines in every building including residence halls. Even better there is a list of places that deliver!
