how is it?
Any stories of finding stuff in your food?
At my school it's usually hit or miss. I end up eating cereal lots of the time. One time my friend found a piece of metal in his sandwich.
It's pretty good, but I get food from the places around school.
The cafeteria food sucks and has been known to give people the shits but you can get some decent hogies. The area where you buy food is decent but incredibly overpriced. Luckily my housing has a kitchen so I don't have to eat there any more.
One semester my one roommate got a burger that was still really red in the center, was pretty gross.

As an undergrad in the late 90s, the meal plan included all-you-can-eat food from the cafeteria. It was average to above-average, depending on the food item, and I never found any metal/rats/weird stuff in it. The school also had a grab-and-go area where you could get pre-packaged food, and an on-campus pizza place that could be paid for with meal credit. I lived on microwave food from the former during my Everquest days.
As for my school these days? No clue. I'm a grad student, and I go to school at an urban campus, so there's restaurants and food carts as far as the eye can see. If there's a cafeteria for the undergrads that actually live on campus, I have no clue where it is.

I go to Virginia Tech. They told us at orientation that apparently the food has been rated #1 or something these past few years but I don't know who rates it.
I personally haven't tried it. No meal plan makes the food expensive as fuck and I'm not gonna pay it.

Ridiculously overpriced.

When I went to Illinois State we had Chik-Fil-A and Sbarro, and some chinese place.
It was amazing.
It was amazing.
The food at my dining commons was fantastic.
I went to Syracuse years ago and the food was pretty good because the meal plans were expensive. No odd foreign objects found there.
I don't eat. Quality too low for my standards.
In my first year of university, we lived in a repurposed major hotel (89 Chestnut at UofT) that was sold and turned into a school residence. They retained the kitchen staff and maid service so not only did we have excellent quality food, but someone came every week and cleaned our bathrooms for us. It was the best.
Very good, actually.
If anyone goes to Ryerson University and is keen at buying food at the campus, head out to Residence building like Pitman Hall. They make some of the best Stir fry there (better than its cafetaria actually. And you get to see more girls in PJs *wink wink, ya pervs!*).

Not bad for what you pay, the only truly bad experience I had was accidentally biting into a piece of EXTREMELY undercooked chicken. My issue with the dining services is that they're only open from 6:00pm-midnight on the weekends where I go to school. They also don't serve food from 2:00-4:00pm on weekdays which sucked for me last year when that was my only free time between classes.
Mass cooked facility food. It's not bad, but it's not exactly good either.
On campus food is expensive and the buffet is quite good but I usually eat right off campus for being relatively cheaper.
I ate like shit in college. Bacon cheeseburgers, cheese fries, chocolate milk, ice cream, waffles.
Pretty good.
Northeastern University. We have 3 dining halls to choose from among other food options a meal plan would cover
The basic one
The one with the stir fry kitchen
The big one thats far away and has more variety but the quality isn't as good.
I've only eaten at UCONN and RIT before and I like the food at my school a lot better. We all complain about it here, but the truth is we got it pretty good. The school has also comitted to having some percentage, not sure what, of organic locally grown food which is pretty cool I guess. Everyone I know whose visited say its better than their school.
I live off campus this year and I kinda miss it :(

I went to UAlbany (and still do technically, but no longer have to eat there). Awful awful awful. We were towards the top of the list for worst food. I got sick multiple times. We have since gotten a new food vendor, so I cant comment on it now, but it is all the same employees.
FSU here. I think the food is quite good, but I'm not a student anymore (I work here now). The food service has improved drastically since I enrolled in 2002. We switched providers in 2003 which was a nice improvement, but now it's really good. 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.

The dining hall here is kind of awful or average at best but we have a Qdoba so that sort of makes up for it.
My college mainly had chain restaurants where you'd get food. We did have some places that weren't fast food and they were mostly good. A few places though had some pretty nasty food.
We made fun of one with a special tagline we used for it: "Landing Strip Pizza - The pizza that tastes like a landing strip!"

Horrendous (apparently. I've never tried it)
Almost everyone who runs in the student election stuff talks about improving the food.

They built a subway in mine. Pretty handy.
UCLA had an amazing cafeteria in the dorms back when I was there. It still might. The food options around campus were similarly excellent, both the chains (Panda Express) and not (they had a really good burger place I fiended on for a good year). And then you step out into Los Angeles, one of the world's great food cities.
Pretty good and the prices are acceptable,too, at the main uni cafeteria.
They try to keep it diverse and fresh.

When I lived on campus, it was okay. Some days it was really good and others it was really bad. It wasn't diverse, either. Always the same. Now I have an apartment so I'm able to get my own groceries.
Most food at Ohio State is pretty good
Man...Georgia Southern University. They had a full-service Chick Fil A that I could get any value meal on my meal card. Beautiful.
My university had this really awesome burger joint on the first floor of the main cafeteria building but they got rid of it last year to put a Starbucks in its place.Man...Georgia Southern University. They had a full-service Chick Fil A that I could get any value meal on my meal card. Beautiful.
Hipsters, man...
My uni doesn't have a campus, it's just one building with a standard cafateria with soup/sandwiches etc. It's ok if a bit on the pricey side.
My uni is in the centre of the city, so if you want something to eat you have dozens of places you can go to within a 5-10 minute radius.
Universities with campuses and food courts sound so alien to me lol. But there's student housing in the city so I guess that's kinda the same.

Drexel University dining hall was pretty terrible all around.
Pizza so greasy that when you pick up a slice, the cheese slides off revealing transparent dough underneath; sesame chicken that consisted of chicken nuggets in sweet and sour sauce with sesame seeds sprinkled on top; steamed carrots with 5g of saturated fat. To top it all off it closes at 8PM M-Th and 7:30 F-Su.

The buffet here is generally pretty shitty, but we have a Wow! Wingery and Vocelli's Pizza, so it's all good. Being on a meal plan you begin to get sick of the same shit everyday, however.

really? all the campus food is shit and expensive. Good thing is that campus is located in the heart of the city so you can just go to any local restaurant.
The food in the Wexner center is so ridiculously priced. $6 for a egg sandwich lol
Campus food was alright at Texas. Jester City Limits had a good variety of choices. My last semester, a Taco Cabana was opened in the middle of campus. Wish that would have been there all 4 years...
It's abysmal, from the terrible base ingredients to the laughably poor cooking. Even things that should be vaguely acceptable like pizza end up objectively disgusting.
Food is so bad that I find myself viewing the occasional trip to McDonalds as a treat.

All our food was excellent.
Mizzou.

When I was there, most of the cafeterias were just okay, but two cafeterias, Snyder-Phillips and Brody, are really nice and now have custom food order stations with a variety of different foods available at all times. They look more like mall food courts than a school cafeteria. Pretty good for cafeteria food.
We also had unlimited meal plans, which is part of why I am now fat. No one man should have all that bacon.

i can't speak for anything more recent than three years ago, but marketplace at the union was pretty solid (in terms of actual food quality and in terms of pricing) whenever i actually got food from there.Originally Posted by fuzzyreactor

(though i got food from there rarely enough that i switched entirely to groceries and random-restaurant-on-high takeout immediately after my freshman year ended)
I hate you and everything your university stands for.We also had unlimited meal plans
(But actually just this.)
Haven't had the cafeteria food. Most of the food places around campus are pretty damn good outside of one Chinese place that gives everyone food poisoning
I went to a very small school. Basically our best option was just eating cereal 3 times a day.
if you're in downtown you can find so many other restaurants around. Only thing I miss going to school in Toronto was the food places.Originally Posted by shagg_187

My community college had cafeteria style food that was just as bad as anything in elementary/middle/high school, so I never ate it.
The 4 year college I transferred to doesn't actually have a cafeteria, it's more like a food court. Most of the options are still mediocre to bad, so I mostly rely on Chick-fil-A when I need to grab something there. I commute, though, so I mostly try to bring food from home or wait until dinner to eat anything.

I've only had it a few times as I usually bring my own lunch but the few times I've had it it was actually pretty good. I only had a curry though. Although I am extremely hard to please with curry's, I can't eat shop bought curry as it tastes weird to me and the chicken that you get with it is always disgusting to me. So the School must be doing something right when it makes curry.
Hey, I'm a sophomore at Tech. Cool. The food is p awesome.Originally Posted by Watevaman
I go to Virginia Tech. They told us at orientation that apparently the food has been rated #1 or something these past few years but I don't know who rates it.

pretty sure this company did all of the food at my school. after two years of living in the dorms, I got so damn sick of their food.
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.
Texas State University has a pretty great selection of food, really. We had three food courts spanning campus with stuff like Chick Fil' A, Panda Express, Starbucks, Pizza Hut, Einstein Brothers and Blimpies, along with a good deal of Chartwells food vendors. On top of that we had two really good cafeterias on either side of campus.
No point in buying food at my school unless you have a meal plan. There's so many other places outside of campus you can go to that are a lot better and cheaper (especially being in NYC).
I only go to the express cafe that we have for snacks/drinks when I don't want to leave campus.
