A brutally honest review about food on campus
The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.
So how that works is you start every semester with thirteen hundred dollars, and you want one of you that food you pay for you get. You ever pay for everything individually and so basically use as much as you do first. If you run out of money from that thirteen hundred, you add more refundable meal planned dollars. If you don't use ago, it rolls into spring semester. Will you get a new thirteen hundred? And then at the end of that semester, if you don't use all your money, you essentially lose your money. So a lot of people end up doing like book orders of, like, powering or something just so that they don't lose that money. So that's when they're being fortunate arcs of that. She s so there's a lot of places you can get food. We have a Dunkin Donuts Alex, a cafe or electrical asis place that has Starbucks on DH snacks and stuff. We have the hill, which is like a pub style like fast food restaurant on campus, and we haven't all on Pan, and then we're going to have a salad station in the business building. So to talk about, like when you go get the comments because that's probably the most place you'LL go through. The most often taught works is you walk in and there's a bunch of different stations, Um, with like options for that day. So you go to that stage, you go whatever station you wanted, food from you can mix and match from different stations. You could get like pizza in the salad sandwich and like something from another station, and you get what you want on DH. Then you leave where the fruit, the area with food served and you pay and you pay for what you get. So they just like you just swipe your card and it's super easy, like you just paid real quick. Then you can either get you fruit and like a reusable to go container or in the Commons, which you set up like a normal dining Hall. That's sort of how the dining comments is set up. All the other places you go in order, and then you pay for what you buy s o all the most. All the food here, except from dunking donuts and Alban Pan is is like through Sodexo, which is a food distribution company. To be honest, I'm vegan, and I found it really, really hard to be vegan because they put cheese on everything in a lot of stuff. They can't take the keys out like the vegetarian section will have things like tortellini and other things like that that have cheese in them. Um, there is one station in the Commons backs vegan, usually which is healthy sides or the the simple seven X alpha called, but a log of times like docking at boring because it's literally like just rice and veggies, and they're not, like, seasoned or anything. Um, also a log of the vegetarian options are super overpriced. Which is why howto ag money to my new plan last semester because, like, it's just really expensive to buy vegetarian food on campus. Um, so that kind of sucks like also, like, we do have a nice salad bar in the Commons, but because it's by weight. It's, like, so expensive because of, like, forty cents per ounce and it adds up pretty quickly. I like some of the food, is like okay, but I feel like a lot of times I end up paying significantly more money for food backs, like not that great. I found it sometimes, like you get stuff and like, you book early like jacket from from the Commons and we sit down and went between your food paying, sinking down your food's cold, which is pretty frustrating. I mean, we're all those things that, like it's not amazing, but it because, like, you need to eat. Um, yeah like, it's not it's not great, but like we all make do with it. Yeah, that's sort of like how the main dining hall and the meal plan.
