The food at UVa is pretty bad especially for the price. My parents thought I was complaining because I was used to the food at home so I took them to the cafteria for parents weekend. There were three different types of dried up rigatoni. So my mom who was determined to make this work said “I will have the taco please.” The lady working the counter said “that is not taco meat it is squash.”

She ate a dried out sandwich on two day old bread while I ate a banana and an apple. Nearly $2000.00 per semester for 13 meals a week is steep. Especially when you consider that it only covers about 8 months per year. Now that I’m a second year I just skipped the meal plan completely and make my own food. I would have happily given all of the meals I didn’t eat to someone who could have used them. It was such a waste.
