Dorm dining on campus is truly hit or miss, but if you plan right you can hit big. Starting with the dorms, the best strategy is to plan ahead. The food at each dorm hall varies, and jumping from dorm to dorm is usually the best method to keeping a variety of foods in your life (check out the menu online at www.dining.ucla.edu) Keep eating at the same place, and the pizza and hamburgers will start to taste too familiar. You’ll soon find your feast in the cereal section. Realistically, the food is nutritious and delicious if you survey the scene ahead of time. Be sure to check out the late-night places to eat for a tasty midnight snack that will pack on the pounds. It’s worth it to get a 14-meal-a-week plan as opposed to the 21-meal-a-week plan. This is the best for grabbing an occasional shake or late-night snack without having an excessive amount of meals left over at the end of the quarter. Aside from the dorms, food on campus is not anything spectacular. Although there are many places to choose from, there is not any one place that has food that is overwhelmingly tasty. The taste buds kick at all of the places around campus when you’re hungry. Although the campus cuisine is fulfilling, it is not good enough to write home about.

The food on campus is great. The dining halls have an amazing variety of food, and I almost never get bored. There are also four take-and-go restaurants available that have an even wider variety of food choices.

There are lots of great places to eat on campus that offer a wide range of choices. To list a few: Panda Express, Taco Bell, Jamba Juice, Rubio's, Sbarro, and The Greenhouse. I never personally lived in the dorms, so I can't offer any real advice on the dining halls. However, I have heard from people that once they moved out of the dorms, they missed the food a lot! So, the dining halls must have been good.

We have some of the best on-campus food in the entire country. There are a lot of options for food at different times. The dining halls are the basic places to eat. There are vegetarian options and different foods at some sections each day. Bruin Café is open until 2 a.m., so you can get food late at night. Rendezvous has Mexican and Asian cuisine. These places are near the dorms, and you can use your meal swipes. On campus where most classes are, there are places to eat where you can pay to get different types of food.

Food is great on campus. With the meal plan, Rendezvous and Bruin Café are great places for lunch that are not dining halls. There are plenty of restaurants with a good selection of food on campus—away from the dorms—but require money rather than the meal plan. The dining halls are great—different halls have a good variety of choices—but like most dining halls, they can get kind of familiar and old after having it too often.
