1) HC is far from perfect… such as with the student run honor code, problems with interculturalism, opportunities for the perfoming arts and relative endowment size… but it’s these challenges that make students have to think hard about important issues and become resourceful and creative, respectively.

2) You have to question any webpage whose title is censored. Many people post on internet chat sites and it’s more fun and easy to b1tch than to give a balanced opinion. When you visit, you should ask students and try the food and see for yourself.

3) In speaking with current students, the food is generally ok/good but occasionally, it is fair/bad and othertimes it’s quite good. When I was a student, the “peaches and pork” made a weird fear-factor dinner entree that I dared never try. Napkin notes, where students write compliments or recommendations/ requests to John (the manager of the dining center) is often effective. HC also provides a huge array of spices, herbs and condiments for students to experiment with… so if the indonesian soup is a little bland… just add some sesame oil, chili powder, salt and lemon juice (all provided).
