MSUM Dining — Restaurant in Moorhead

I paid for the "unlimited" meal plan and am basically only getting two thirds of what I paid for, and...

I have in the fall of 2019 graduated. The food here is what I'd call edible. Definitely though barely better than highschool lunch meals. But that's not saying much. Beware they do have tendency to run completely out of things. Also it's a bit of a pain how Sodexo kinda has monopolized all the food on campus. Not to mention the rat in the spinach really made "queasy kise" a reality. My freshman to junior years were amazing. But after 2018 the quality really died off. Making your own food is...
