“ I was impressed with this dining hub at UMass Amherst. We also ate free because we were the family of a student. They had every kind of food you could want, served buffet style. There was everything from Chinese, Indian, Middle Eastern, Italian, American style, salads and etc. It was very good and I recommend it. There was plenty of seating. Check it out. ”

“ An outstanding food court with incredible variety of food. Food is outstanding and ranks with top restaurants. Students at UMass Amherst are truely spoiled as food was not like that when i was in college. Building is clean and well maintained. Staff are very conscientious of allergies.
