College food

None of my children is yet in college, but I fear they will find the dining hall food an improvement over my cooking.


beth’s mom: LOL!

If it were just an issue of size (all big schools are better, or whatever), it would make sense, but why, for instance, do the kids at Purdue rave about their choices while the kids at Illinois uniformly complain? Similar size, similar student bodies, similar tuition – but Purdue was able to set up the variety, the dining stations, etc.

As someone noted above, a school has to commit to changing the dining – I guess I just don’t see why everyone wouldn’t do that, pronto, unless it was financially unfeasible, but I’m still not getting why it would be when so much else changes on campuses – new Rec Centers and what have you.
