Omg I don’t fault you in the least for having had a fabulous dining room experience in college! Some of the best breakfasts I have were from weekend brunches at mine! Best made to order egg white omelettes with fresh toppings ever! Pastas too.
College dorms ain’t what they used to be. The one I go to his huge. They have about 10 different stations, each with a different type of dish. They have homestyle where you get basic protein, starch and vegetable, a stir fry station, a pasta station with homemade pasta of the day, Mexican, vegetarian, a stir fry station with dishes made to order, pizza, a grill where you get hot dogs, burgers, sloppy joes, chicken sandwiches, etc. and, of course dessert with pies, cakes, brownies, soft serve, and hand dipped ice cream.
All you can eat for $7.25. The downside is, like most cafeterias, most of the food isn’t as hot as I’d like. Still I pre-paid for 120 meals and usually go there a couple of times a month.
