College Prowler Take

Fordham’s dining services certainly miss the mark in more than one category. Rose Hill offers a modest variety of options, but students are still left unimpressed. The cafeteria at least allows for an all-you-can-eat style (though how much you actually want to eat is another matter). Although none of the eateries offer 24-hour dining, midnight snackers at Rose Hill can catch a bite at the Millennium Grille. Lincoln Center fares even worse. Students have two real dining options, both which maintain absurd hours for normal, nocturnal students.

Thankfully, Rose Hill and Lincoln Center are nestled in areas of culinary heaven. While Rose Hill’s dining facilities stay busy during the day, many students opt to order out once they have time to wait for delivery. Lincoln Center offers a different type of meal plan: freshman residents are required to put $800 on their ID cards for their first two semesters and pay for each meal individually, with any balance carrying over. Some prices are NYC expensive ($4.75 for a smoothie) and others are outlandish for any metropolis ($1.75 for a small coffee), but the convenience of grabbing food right before catching the elevator to class keeps Lincoln Center’s dining facilities at the very least accessible, if not totally useless.

They’ve been renovating the main cafeteria, but I’m not getting too excited. I’d rather just order out.

The food here sucks. Take my advice: Use up your freshman meal plan and never get one again.

The food here is gross. I can handle the salad bar and anything pre-packaged, but the cooking is greasy, slow, and bad. They use the same grills for everything, so vegetarians beware: that veggie burger is being cooked right where the cow left off.

I like the salad bar. The fries aren’t too bad if they’re fresh, and everybody loves the employees.
