We’re a week into the semester, and I think it’s safe to say that everyone on campus has at least tried the food at the Campus Center. To me, and many others, it’s clear to see that the quality of the food there has been very poor. Due to the fact that the campus center is the only option for dining with a meal swipe, many of us students feel obligated to eat there, despite the fact that many prefer to eat at the Student Center. The food at the Campus Center tends to have a lot of unhealthy options, and few healthy ones. On top of that, the healthier options are typically poorly prepared, causing many students to choose the more unhealthy options.

The Student Center dining hall has a variety of different food options to choose from. The menu is consistent, so student’s know what they’re getting from there. Many of these options are also much healthier, and are prepared upon request which allows the food that is served to be more fresh. In the past, students were able to use a meal swipe to buy select dinner options. However, it is no longer available, and we did not get a proper explanation why.

We, as the student body, request that the Student Center meal swipe be made available again, for the sake of our health and well-being.
