<p>The links give a pretty good idea, I think… Most people eat at Stevenson. Dascomb is also popular because it’s inside a first-year dorm; they also have “fourth meal” every evening. Lord-Saunders is open less often, and serves more home-cooking stuff like mac & cheese or chicken wings. In addition to what’s on the menus, the various dining halls also have things like salad bars, cereal, sandwich stations, and Stevenson does make-your-own omelettes. It’s not amazing food, but what’s missing in quality is usually made up for in variety.</p>
<p>If you’re in a hurry, you can also grab quick food at Decafe (in the basement of the student union - makes sandwiches, salads, and smoothies), the Science Center Cart, or Azariah’s (coffee shop in the library).</p>
<p>A clarification about co-ops, though, if time is your big concern: At the beginning of the semester, co-ops vote on “time aid” policies, so that students who have jobs outside the co-op (for work-study, etc.) get a “discount” on the amount of work they have to do. They vary a little based on the co-op and the semester. My co-op’s currently policy is that three hours of “outside” work = 1 hour of co-op work - e.g., if you work 12 hours a week at the library or something, then you don’t have to do any co-op work at all. I think that’s a pretty typical policy.</p>
