UMass Amherst has the best dining halls in the country
At least, according to The Princeton Review.
As many college students move back to campus this week, they don’t only have to figure out how to maneuver their moving trucks around town, they also have to navigate their campus dining halls, which can be filled with as many mystery meats as tasty treats.
The students at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, however, can rest a bit easier knowing they have the best campus food in the country — at least, according to The Princeton Review. This is the first time the school has earned the top spot, and students found out when the ruling appeared in the 25th installment of the publication’s rankings. The Princeton Review rated the top 381 schools for 2017, and, rather than pick one “best’’ overall school, it creates 62 lists of “bests’’ and “worsts’’ that range from “great financial aid’’ to “best party schools.’’
To prove they truly deserved the title, UMass Amherst sent its mascot, Sam the Minuteman, to the Today Show Tuesday morning to let the hosts try pork sliders and Napoleon pastries.

“We’re pleased to see that The Princeton Review has recognized what all of us at UMass Amherst have long known: when it comes to college food, UMass Dining can’t be beat,” Chancellor Kumble Subbaswamy said in a statement on the school’s website.
UMass Amherst wasn’t the only Bay State school that claimed a top spot. Bentley University ranked first in “Best Career Services,” Wellesley College had the top-rated professors, and Worcester Polytechnic Institute was first in “Most Popular Study Abroad Program.” In a perhaps less noteworthy top spot, Becker College in Worcester came in first for least politically active students.
