there are a lot of options, but there always the same. no variety

Gets Old Quick

Leo's is bearable if you go in with an open mind and are willing to think outside the box to create something new, you can keep it from getting boring. It's easy to give into the off-campus temptations of Wisey's and SweetGreen, but they can add up quickly in cost. Bottom line, don't get a huge meal plan because you won't use it.

Repetitive

There's only one dining hall: Leo's. There are a ton of basic options (pizza, pasta, stir fry, wraps, sandwiches, soups, salads, cereal, breakfast/lunch/dinner diner food) but that's as complicated as it gets. Nothing is bad but nothing is super good either, except maybe the chicken fingers on thursdays and the french fries. You're required to have a meal plan freshman year and they're expensive, I have the 10 meal plan and living in Darnall (farthest from Leo's) I usually only use up to 8 a week. You have to get creative when making a meal. Easy to steal food to bring back to your room, grab and go option is okay (WAY healthier than all you can eat buffet at Leo's) but not worth the $10ish dollars youre paying per meal. There are block plans (such as 75 meals per semester) that are only supposed to be for upperclassmen but I plan on getting one anyways. You get relatively little flex dollars ($50 with the 10 meal plan) but there are a few Corp coffee shops that these become very useful at. Theres also a Subway thats always good and Vital Vittles is an impressive on campus grocery store. The epicurean is delicious but expensive, you'll end up paying around $8-$10 for a solid meal but its worth it if you are living in Darnall. Overall, not bad just expensive. As a freshmen, just explore all the options and discover if you really will be interested in a meal plan in future years.
