The Worst College Food in America

“… These schools were selected for this list by the very consumers dependent on the food — the students — and it’s clear that the people have spoken. We reached out to the dining services teams at the institutions on this list, but none of them responded. The home of the worst college dining in the nation featured dishes filled with surprise ingredients — and we don’t mean caramel-filled desserts, maple scones with bacon, or a plastic baby inside a king cake. There, students have found insects and products you can buy at Home Depot and Staples in their meals. Yes, nails and office supplies. True story.” …

This makes me glad I didn’t choose Fordham…Christ.

I have an acquaintance who’s daughter started at Fordham this year. I hate to ask… :frowning:

Quite literally all they had to put for Fordham is “Sodexo manages the food”

someone should add stony brook to this list

@Dave_Berry Not sure why you would post an article from 2016 now. Much has changed/improved at Fordham since 2012 including getting a new food provider so the article is not close to being up to date.

^^^* article cited by OP was written in 2012.

@happy1

The funny thing is, the article probably still isn’t as old as the food that Fordham is serving their students

Actually I give the school credit to working to improve a problem.

I’m a sophomore at Carthage College and our food is the absolute worst. Our food is processed through Sodexo… quite possibly the worst college food provider there is. I’m trying to bring it to the attention of the college, and I need some help… Food poisoning, rats/rodents running through the processing/packaging factories, parasites and sometimes unidentifiable things left in salads, burgers, and more… it’s all too much and there’s no way to avoid paying to it, because it’s included in tuition! Help me research and create a petition… maybe to create a case against the school and Sodexo. I’ll shoot my email out for serious inquiries. Please help!

My D2 did a summer program at Ohio Northern. The food (actually only having one choice of where to eat) was her number one complaint.

@bvo112 : 1985 grad here. I couldn’t agree more. And it probably hasn’t gotten better since.
