What Students Are Saying

Food is also not to bad. It could be a lot better, but it is a school. School lunches anywhere are normally not the best.
Parker from Walnut Grove, MO
The food is only decent, but there are always a lot of choices in the cafeteria.
Haley from Springfield, MO
Unknown, I live local and not on campus.
Debra from Springfield, MO
Workout and eat healthy to keep immune system up. I can't afford to miss a day of school or a day of studying. Enjoy the breaks when you get them.
Julie from Springfield, MO
Like any school the cafeteria is a place that can be cherished and criticized all at the same time. I've had other schools food and have thought to myself that Meller's Dining Hall was a great place to eat in comparison. There are the good days and bad days but all of the staff at the cafeteria care about the students and are continually making changes to better the food they are providing.
Katie from Bolivar, MO
There are 20, 15, 10 meal plans. The 20 meal plan includes $50 bearcat bonus bucks.
