Mississippi State University is full of changes this school year. From residence halls to the new cafeteria, the University has definitely given students many new things to utilize and enjoy.
One of the biggest changes introduced are the selections for food. If you thought MSU had much to offer before, wait until you experience some of the campus’ new locations.
Ashley Hollins, junior biochemistry major, said she has been enjoying the new food selections thus far, and Moe’s is her favorite place at the moment.
“I’ve eaten Moe’s a number of times since the semester began. It is a little on the expensive side, but the food is good. I like the steak quesadillas the best,” she said. “I think one of the best things about it is that with the meal plan I selected for the school year, I received coupons for them as well. They’re worth it.”
Moe’s Southwest Grill is located beside the dining office, where the State Fountain Bakery was located before being moved to the Colvard Student Union. The restaurant offers a variety of Mexican style food.
Daisha Blanford, freshman biological sciences major, said she is also enjoying all of the food places her new school has to offer, and although she has not tried everything yet, she plans to eventually.
“Various food selections are always a plus when it comes to being in college and living on campus,” she said. “The new cafeteria, Fresh Market, is one of my favorite places. I love going in there, especially for the salads.”
Since we all have a sweet tooth, Starkville recently welcomed Insomnia Cookies to the area as well. Insomnia Cookies serves their delicious cookies to customers fresh out of the oven, making them taste better than normal.
Ariana Haymer, junior biology major, said she tried Insomnia Cookies and was overly satisfied.
“Insomnia Cookies is really good. I tried both the chocolate chunk and the white chocolate chip macadamia nut one, and they were both delicious,” she said.
The Fresh Market Cafeteria has been in the works for some time now, and the new cafeteria finally had its grand opening this school year. Students have really been enjoying the new cafeteria because it is something different than what they usually experience.
There have been a ton of food places to come and go for this school year. Chic-Fil-A has expanded in the Student Union, Toss It Up and Zoca have both been removed and the bakery has relocated. Panda Express has also opened a new location on Hwy 12, right next to Wal-Mart.
From the selections on campus to the selections that are less than five minutes away—no matter what you are craving—MSU’s campus and the city of Starkville have a place for you to enjoy.
