In reply to the discussion: food we lived on in college [View all]Nikia
(11,411 posts)56. The meal plan was required at our college too
Many students complained about the food, but it was actually pretty good. The biggest draw back was that it was the same food all the time. The hot lunches and dinners probably rotated on a 2-3 weeks schedule, although it was not an exact rotation. They had certain foods available most of the time or on certain days of the week. Although it was a variety, after 4 years of that, I was ready for a change.
Over ten years later, I feel like I am eating the same things too although I always have the option of buying different food at the grocery store.

My generation was pretty big on cheeseburgers and fries. Pizza was a new thing for us.
