Can't handle the dorm food anymore

I’m sure that I’m not the only person that is very sick of dorm food. I prefer to starve over eating some nasty, grease filled food that has been sitting out for who knows how long. I don’t see why, with all the money we pay to go here, that they can’t have better meals. I once ordered a cheeseburger and the cheese wasn’t even close to being cooked on the meat, it really looked like someone just threw the cheese on there after it was cooked. I really have to force myself some days to go downstairs and get something to eat. I stand there in line for awhile and think, what gross food do I want today? Chicken nuggets and fries are usually my safest bet, but I get so sick of the same food all the time. I also don’t understand why Grant can’t have a cafeteria like Steven son does when we pay the same amount of money to go here. I would walk over to Stevenson, but I don’t think I should have to freeze or get blown over by the wind just to get a good meal. Having bad food in the dorms makes people go and have to spend more money at the grocery store so people have “normal” food to eat. I know I spend a lot of money every week or so on more groceries for our room. I also would like to know why they don’t have like little snacks, like bags of chips or granola bars downstairs. Sometimes I just want a small snack and they don’t offer anything like that in the Grant cafeteria. So not only are we paying for our meals plans that we don’t finish during the week, but the extra groceries were paying for, for the food we’re not getting in the cafeteria.

I can't agree with you anymore. The food WAS good for the first few weeks, but after that, I also found myself spending money at various restaurants just to eat and take a break from this terrible food. The only reason why I think Stevenson has a food court is because only upperclassmen live there and the University believes they should be treated better, which is worng. At least break is next week and we can come back and enjoy the food again for about a month.

I totally agree with you. I don't know what it is, but I get stomach aches almost every time I eat in the dorms. I never used to, but now I do. I have spent a lot of money at the grocery store, more than I hoped to spend. I also think that more than Stevenson and Grant South should be opened after 7. The cafeterias should really have snacks like chips and such, like you said. I just can't wait for home-cooked food.

I am with you on this one! I can't stand this food any longer. I have barely eaten in the cafeteria this week because I am just sick of the food. Honestly, coming here, I didn't expect the food to be this bad. I am so sick of going downstairs and eating greasy, fattening, gross food. I love going home and eating homemade food. I never enjoyed my mom's cooking so much before!

I agree with you a hundred percent. I think that the food here is gross. At first I was like wow, I get to eat what I want whenever I want. Now I can't wait to go home over break and eat "real" food. I walk around the cafeteria and look at all the different foods and just see what looks the safest to eat that day. I agree that with all the money we are spending we should be getting a higher quality of food. I also agree with the fact that stevenson has the best food and it is truly an inconvenience to have to walk all the way over there just to get some what of a selection of decent food. I have also ran out of all my huskie bucks which is another problem on its own but, it is because I can only take so much of the dorm food.
