(2002) “While accompanying my roommate to buy (not steal) a meal at Durfee’s, I encountered Julianna Bentes, SM '04, who bemoaned Yale’s crappy meal plan. Last year, frustrated with losing money every day, Bentes attempted to eat all three meals in accordance with Yale’s dining schedule. Unfortunately, this petite junior found herself becoming hungry at odd hours of the day because the dining schedule is simply not normal: Who eats dinner at 5:30 p.m.? And the story concludes with Julianna gaining a few pounds due to late-night snacking. Thanks, Yale. Currently, this junior is following the route of many undergraduates by transferring her meal credit to the Law School, where she can buy food and take it back to her suite to eat when she’s hungry.”
