Universities with the Best Campus Food by: Naomi Nishihara on October 02, 2014 | 0 Comments Comments 1,444 Views October 2, 2014 The way to a student’s heart is through her stomach, so making the Best Campus Food list is always good news. While some college dining halls unabashedly make lunchtime sandwiches out of last night’s leftovers, fine dining can be nothing short of expected at others.Looking at the past six years of Princeton Review Best Campus Food rankings, youll see that of the 38 schools listed, 9 are listed all six years. Of them, Bowdoin College, James Madison University, and Virginia Tech are consistently in the top six. Interestingly, all three are also listed, at least once in the last six years, as having the Princeton Review’s Happiest Students.The rankings are created with students’ answers to the survey question: How do you rate the food on campus? Though answers to a volunteer survey may not seem like the surest way to find the b est college food, a New York Times article from back in 1988, before the Princeton Review started these rankings, applauds the quality of Bowdoin’s food, suggesting that among the more consistently ranked schools, there is some long-standing truth to be found in current students’ taste buds.Here are the schools with the best campus food:Ranking The Best Campus Food From 2015 to 20102015 Rank School2015 Rank2014 Rank2013 Rank2012 Rank2011 Rank2010 RankVirginia Tech142321University of Massachesetts Amherst23310NRNRCornell University358859Bowdoin College411212St. Olaf College58131963James Madison University624534Washington University in St. Louis79571010Bryn Mawr College8109487College of the Atlantic977NR1718St. Anselm College1012101116NRSkidmore College11NRNRNRNRNRWheaton College12661413Tufts University131417NRNRNRSeattle University14NRNRNRNRNRClaremont McKenna College1511NRNRNR16Bates College161611NRNR17Boston University17NRNR13NRNRDartmouth College18NRNRNRNRNRGoucher College19NRNR18NRNRUniversity of Notre Dame20131220911Middlebury CollegeNR15NRNR13NRMiami University (Ohio)NR1718NRNRNRUniversity of San DiegoNR18NRNRNRNRUniversity of DaytonNR19NRNRNRNRUniversity of GeorgiaNR20156712Purdue University West LafayetteNRNR14NRNR19Scripps CollegeNRNR161612NRGettysburg CollegeNRNR19NRNR20St. Lawrence UniversityNRNR20NRNRNRColby CollegeNRNRNR9116University of ScrantonNRNRNR12NRNRUniversity of RichmondNRNRNR1419NRKansas State UniversityNRNRNR15NRNRUniversity of New HampshireNRNRNR17NRNRFranklin W.
