<p>By the time your D is ready to enter college, this unfortunate issue will be resolved. I would suggest that when you plan your college visit to Fordham, make it a point to have lunch in the student cafeteria that day (many parents venture over to the fabulous Arthur Ave. for some of the best Italian food in NYC…but don’t try the meal plan food). My wife and I made sure our D and we ate in each school cafeteria with every visit we made. While I was surprised the day we ate the Fordham food was good, it is no secrect most schools “Step up their game” when parents and prospective students visit, but it can give you an idea of what the fare is, the basic quality etc. I found the food at other schools sometimes better, sometimes not so.</p>
<p>Worry more if your D will get a good education with internship possibilities rather than if the hot dogs and Mac+cheese are not to appealing. In any event, this was a problem that will be resolved this semester, with a new food service contract likely for next year.</p>
