D’s school made a big deal about the dining hall being open 24 hours a day, not for everything but there was always cereal, fruit, frozen yogurt, bread and the toaster, hot water for tea or oatmeal, coffee, cold beverages, and a special baked good of the day. They had minimal staff to keep things clean and stocked but it wasn’t like they were running the grill all night. Underclassmen had unlimited swipes but meal blocks were available to upperclassmen who had access to kitchens. Now, it is 6:30 AM- midnight because they said no one went at night last year. Of course they didn’t - the dining hall was closed and meals were to go only during specified times.
