The University of Massachusetts Amherst has once again been recognized for its exceptional campus dining experience, earning the coveted top spot on The Princeton Review’s list of Best Campus Food for an unprecedented eighth consecutive year. The achievement underscores UMass Dining’s commitment to culinary excellence, sustainability and experiential dining that features globally inspired, culturally driven menus.
The Princeton Review’s annual rankings are based on surveys of 168,000 students at 390 colleges and universities across the nation. UMass Dining’s consistent top ranking is a testament to its innovative approach to campus dining and commitment to delivering student-focused and locally sourced cuisine at its four dining commons, one large retail food hall and more than 30 cafés across campus.
“We are thrilled and honored to be recognized once again by The Princeton Review,” said Ken Toong, Assistant Vice Chancellor of UMass Auxiliary Enterprises, which includes UMass Dining. “This ranking is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our entire UMass Dining team, who are committed to delivering an outstanding dining experience for our students every day. We believe that good food is essential to the well-being of our community, and we will continue to push the boundaries of what campus dining can be.”
“UMass Dining is a cornerstone of our campus culture, and this recognition speaks volumes about our commitment to excellence in all areas of student life,” said Andy Mangels, Vice Chancellor of Administration and Finance. “The dining program’s success enhances the overall experience at UMass Amherst, making our campus a place where students can thrive both academically and personally. We are incredibly proud of this achievement and look forward to continuing our tradition of excellence.”
