^the food here has gone down in the last couple years, especially at Oken and the mess they call lo mein. I think it's 'cause they changed the staff. It's still better than other campus foods, but its lacking...
But I wouldn't say people who eat the food don't have self-control. That's a little "holier than thou". It's more like people realize that they've paid good money for the food and there are many in the world who are dying to have that much selection even if its doused in trans fat. It must be so hard to be a health freak around so many fat pigs....

^^ I will generally agree. If you really don't care about being too healthy, you're gonna eat well and be merry here with hardly a complaint. However, I too am health conscious and if you are like me in that you regiment your diet and wish to supply healthy/lean fuel to your body, life may be tougher and a meal plan is not the smartest idea. You can only eat so much dry salad and the buffet style dining halls only lead to overeating of the 98% of unhealthy food. The ONLY place I would eat last year was that sandwich bar at trillium where you can get a sandwich or wrap custom made. They had 12grain bread and lean turkey with what they claim are 'fresh' veggies, but once I got sick from it and have never looked back.
A wegman's card and my own stove have saved my life.

mmmmm... fried food
I can eat terrible food without gaining weight, so hopefully that will hold true. My breakfast the past 2 1/2 years has been about as healthy as it gets, but my lunch and dinner have progressively gotten worse as I have less time, and I need to start frequently exercising again. Do the Cornell gyms have heavy bags or any other boxing equipment? It feels like I never have any time lately, but thankfully that is over after my last exam thursday. I won't be working 2 jobs and filling out apps my first semester at cornell this spring, so I would like to start working out again.

wait....when we live on west campus, we're not just limited to house dining rite? Aren't we still allowed to go to like okenshields and north campus whenever we want?
And yes, $500 BRBs is a lot, I still have $230 left over =D

You'll have unlimited meals on West...and depending on your plan anywhere from 25-75 meals that can be used at the other dining halls.

Feel free to brag as much as you like lol, I'm just curious what kind of thing makes admissions ooh and ahh  | |

I'm going to have something different every meal (for my first semester anyway).

"variety is the spice of life"
You are right-somewhat right.
That's why, I've decided to get a 14 meal/week plan. I will have blueberry-pancakes for breakfast, Pizza for lunch and Burger(s)/fries for dinner. I'll try to add "variety" by having Jello for dessert; everyday will be a different flavour of jello.

Well, looking at the size of the Campus, I guess that won't be a problem. I'll burn all the fat off...easily.

| Please. I'm all for eating healthy and all, and I'm a huge Michael Pollan fan, but college is a time to live a little. You should be chowing down on Hot Truck, Cornell Dairy, and the finest popcorn of Chapter House (with choice beverages of course), especially when you are in college running all over the place and your brain needs to be consuming vast amounts of carbohydrates to think.
You will have the rest of your life to be high strung about your eating habits. You will only have a couple of years to enjoy a delicious WGC (with truck sauce!) at 3AM among friends.
