What Students Are Saying
There are two buildings that charge for entrance, and then have delicious all you can eat with many varieties of food.
Juliana from Norwalk, IA
SO many options to choose from. You can go to the traditional dining centers, the Piazza and the Rialto, or you can go to Mauker Union if you're craving iced coffee, Chinese, or to-go snacks. There are a couple of markets located on campus as well.
Kirsten from Marion, IA
While on my visit we got to have lunch in on of the dining areas and there was a great selection of different kinds of food and it all tasted really good.
Emma from Sioux Center, IA
UNI does a fantastic job of providing different options for all taste buds. They provide vegan and vegetarian meals for my fellow vegans, as well as both healthy options and comfort food. You will never get sick of eating in the dining centers!
Katlyn from Spencer, IA
This is my fourth year on the food program. Good choices and facilities. My parent said it was the best and healthiest food from the colleges we visited.
Kristin from Cedar Rapids, IA
The food here is GREAT! It is buffet style so you eat as much as you want! There are also so many choices of what to eat! The ice cream that they have is amazing too!
