I go to York University and it's okay. There are a lot of options but most of the food is super shitty for you. :(

University of Florida's meal plan is NEVER good.

It's okay but expensive so I mainly get food at the various places around campus or my house.

the pizza is pretty good

man buffalo chicken pizza with hot sauce mmmmmmmmmm

we got sausage pizza too

Virginia Tech food is #1

The prices are a bit ridiculous at my college, but the Pizza is amazing

My school cafeteria used to bring in chick-fil-a sandwiches a few semesters back but they stopped. That's all I used to buy from them back then. Now some local restaurant provides the food. The new chicken is not amazing but it's good. Sometimes they put to much salt tho u_u

we are.

The HUB food is overpriced and the chik-fil-a i feel like is kept in warmers far too long. Nothing beats the food in west though. Kinda bummed i don't have a meal plan anymore.

Sucks.
I just go grab something to a place near the college even if it's more expensive.

I've never eaten so much Chick-fil-A and general junk food in my life. I'm surprised I'm still alive...

My old uni, Bournemouth, did absolutely fucking incredible full english breakfast. I've still never found anywhere that does a breakfast as good as their caf

and the sauce dispensers were like fucking beer pulls. unlimited HP sauce. oh my god

We had a Chick-Fil-A and a McAllisters in campus facilities. I hated that our on campus CFA didn't have the Spicy Chicken Sandwich so once I got a car I just drove to the real one.
I rarely ate the actual cafeteria food except for the burritos because they loaded them up.
In the 2 years I lived off-campus I can count on one hand the amount of times I ate on-campus.

One of my friends went to this private school that basically had an Outback in their student union. It wasn't named that but they served all the same shit and it stayed open until 3am. And there were legit arcade games in there. And they let us drink in there. It was the place to be once parties let out. They also could use their meal plans at places around town to.

The food at Purdue was fantastic...Especially Ford. <3

I went to UCLA and from what I remember, it was pretty good. This was years ago, though. I went back not too long ago to meet up with some friends and visit the campus, they've added some new restaurants and stuff. The surrounding neighborhood has some nice middle eastern restaurants, though.

I only go to the express cafe that we have for snacks/drinks when I don't want to leave campus.

I'm so lazy that I refuse to leave campus and walk a block in this cold.

Everything's expensive, so I just grab a slice of pizza. Three days a week. :C

My food plan was pretty good. Never had many complaints. When I moved into an apartment in my junior year I actually missed having my meals prepared and ready for me. They always had a sandwich station, giant salad bar, several entree choices, pasta bar and stir fry station. Then some rotating stuff. So it was cool.

I am not a huge picky eater, though. And my parents paid for it, so I was your typical spoiled little bastard and price didn't factor in.

bad xor expensive

JAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY RAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH JJJJJJJJJUHPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cal State Fullerton represent. There are several food chains with locations on campus, like Carl's Jr., Panda Express, Round Table Pizza, Juice It Up, and Starbucks.

we had a main cafeteria and a few little restaurant-type choices.

I liked the one restaurant that served chicken strips. When your order was ready, the lady would yell out "CHICKEN STRIPS" just like the German lady in Austin Powers.

My university had Sodexho too, and I hated it so much. There were rare times when the cafeteria had kick-ass food, but for the most part, the food was rubbish.

£1.90 for Roast chicken, roast potatoes, gravy and dessert. Not too bad. Doesn't even taste bad.

Overpriced and was generally crap, but when you're a hungry college kid you don't make good decisions.

On the plus side, it taught me to be pretty tolerant of food. This food was made from rat meat? Eh, if it tastes fine then I don't care.

Aramark makes the food at my school.

Thankfully, I moved off campus and don't have to put up with how awful the food is.

Most nights, the cafeteria stops cooking food an hour or more before they're supposed to close. Cereal would be the only thing left.

They have a food court at the center of campus with a Chick-Fil-A, a Quiznos, and some other stuff. That's the only decent food.

It usually depends on what they're serving. But if I don't like what they've got that afternoon/evening, there are other options around. Sucks that the Bojangles we've got here is only open until 5, though.

Crappy and overpriced.

Oh yeah, for sure. There are some students who are forced to buy University food credit in order to get into residency, so I mingled with a lot of them. Took me 4 - 5 years before I started appreciating the food served within the campus.

Downtown Food is godsend. Doner Kebab, Chipotle, Korean BBQ, Caribbean Queen, Yueh Tung, Popeyes, Georges BBQ, Subway, BK, Paramount, and so many more!

Commuter student and the only time I experienced cafeteria food was 3-4 years ago during fish orientation.

We do have a Pizza Hut, Panda Express, Chick Fil-A, Subway and Starbucks inside the student commons. A 2 minute walk from the commons gets you places like Pie Five, Smiling Moose Deli, and a taco shop along with a bar and a few other stores. Then over at the fine arts building was an Einstein bagels.

It's pretty much the people on campus housing who eat the cafeteria food as their housing comes with a meal plan.

Cafeteria's are just plain terrible, will give you the shits. At least Chic fel A goes with the meal plan.

Terrible, we had a sub place that was decent. There was a pizza place that was also included in the meal plan. My roommate freshman year ate 3 or 4 pizzas a week and gained 26 pounds in one semester. The kitchen in the dorms was dated, and often in use by slobs, or even worse the guys who can't cook worth a damn and burn their food setting off the fire alarms at 3 am.

I went out to eat a lot. Meal plan was a waste of $

Private school food is on some other level.
Pratt Institute and Cornell are good from my experience.

Virginia Tech is private school food at a public university. I can do downstairs from my dorm room and get LOBSTER. The new dining hall has a HABACHI STEAKHOUSE. The variety is incredible.

We are! :)

West is definitely the best. Other than that I have an addiction to Panda Express :p

On campus we have a 24-hour Denny's, a Chili's, a few Starbucks locations, a newly opened Chick-Fil-A, and a bunch of other stuff.

Our two dining halls make good food, though if you are a student here you will eventually tire of them towards the end of each semester, as they can only make so many different items. From what I understand, the service provider (Aramark) brings prospective clients here to show them how good university food service can be, which says to me that we must have one of the better setups in the nation.

Wow, that sounds pretty awesome. When I graduated in 2006, there was the Chick-Fil-A in the Student Union, along with Pollo Tropical, BK, and Pizza Hut I think. There weren't any Starbucks stores on campus. The dining halls were just as you mentioned, but there was a buffet in the stadium that was pretty fucking awesome. You'd always bump into the football team there, too.

I haven't been back since 2006, but I'm planning a trip in February. I'm mostly excited about hitting up Momo's Pizza and hopefully picking up a bunch of national champion gear!

I attended culinary school... food was actually damn good.

It's edible.

Standard fare in the caf. But we have three different Chinese food trucks and a fry truck parked near the main library. Chinatown is also walking distance from our school so that's pretty dope.

My school was rated on websites to have A+ food I believe, and it was pretty much shit awful. We would have races to the dorm to see who got to use the bathroom first.

One time I saw a worker at the cafeteria closest to me spit a huge gob into the french fry grease. He then turned around and looked me in the eyes before casually continuing on with his work.

I still eat there.

It's good. The food in the cafeteria is cheap and tastes ok, this is a good thing since anything half decent costs way too much in Central London. The student union bar has food made on order and cheap drinks, so what's not to like.

Community College, has a culinary school. The food is delicious. Also if you go on days when they have cooking classes after class lets out, you get a crapton of freebies. They just throw whatever they don't take home away. :(

Temple University. Cafeteria food is alright but the food truck food is pretty damn good.

OPA! So good.

SODEXO, so no, it sucked. Good thing we have a Winco across the street.

At my previous uni I could get free lunch from the Hare Krishnas. The food at my Dutch uni was expensive but good, the food at my Japanese uni was cheap but I'm vegetarian so I got tired of rice and tofu.

My school just had this super nice cafe for grad students/faculty and then food stalls (including the Hare Krishnas like above plus a bunch of other things like Japanese and Mexican) and coffee vendors in the courtyard for the plebs.

Purdue dining courts are amazing with each one offering something different. Ford had solid pizza and stir fry. Loved Wiley too with that "make your own pasta".
