I remember one thing our D commented on after she had been at UD for about a week was that she never really appreciated the quality of the meals she had gotten at home until she had to eat at the dining hall daily for about a week. In all fairness the food is really not that bad at the dining halls but it really is difficult to keep cooked food fresh (taste and temperature wise) when you are feeding the masses. One thing she did like was the ability to make her own waffles (one of her favorite foods) in the morning for breakfast. One other thing that she did like was that she could contact the dining hall the day before and make arrangements for them to put together a box lunch for her and she would pick it up in the morning after breakfast and take it with her for lunch (saved a little time from having to walk to a dining hall) which she often ate in the library (where she spent a lot of her time as a Nursing major). Luckily she was able to avoid the “Freshman 15” weight gain (she also spent a good deal of time at the gym-which also provided some rec time to balance out her studying). Needless to say by the end of the first year she had had enough of dining hall food.
