UMass Amherst Ranked Second-best in Campus Food

AMHERST — The UMass Amherst Dining Services, profiled in a cover piece in BusinessWest in May, has moved up one notch in the ranking of campus food nationwide, according to the Princeton Review. UMass, which had ranked third in the publication’s three previous compilations, came in behind only Virginia Tech in the 2015 edition of “The Best 379 Colleges,” which was released Monday.

“We’re thrilled with the ranking,” said Ken Toong, executive director of Auxiliary Enterprises at UMass, in a prepared statement. “Thanks to the support of our students — they are the best customers in the world. We love them, and they are the cheerleaders of our program.”
