Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Cafeteria food? Gross. This is the normal reaction to most dining halls. NC State does a fair job of keeping up the freshness of foods served and keeps things interesting with events like Sweet Potato Day and Quesadilla Night. Dining hall foods are not the best, but students here have heard worse things about dining halls from other universities, like UNC or Appalachian University. The one thing NCSU must be praised for is the variety of non-dining-hall foods, like those at the Atrium or in Talley Student Center. The only drawback to this is that many students are into the habit of eating late, and the Atrium and Talley both close relatively early.

This is why the University has C-Stores, which are open as late as 1 a.m., that allow students to use cash or swipe their ID card which contains University Board Bucks to buy late-night snacks or dinner. The dining hall isn’t bad the first year, or maybe even two, but afterwards, you will learn it is a little cheaper to invest in groceries you want and make your own food, having the occasional bite to eat on campus or out at some of the student-favorite restaurants on Hillsborough Street.
