College Prowler Take
Cafeteria food is one of those things that every incoming freshman dreads. However, UCSD students report that it is not that bad. It may be tasteless and unexciting, but it’s not horrible. There are many different cafeterias on campus, each with different kinds of food, so students are sure to find some place they enjoy. Even if students absolutely hate dorm food, they are able to survive on it for the year. Experiencing cafeteria food makes trips home with good home-cooked meals that much more appreciated. There are also many choices for students who don’t have a meal plan or wish to avoid the cafeterias. In Price Center, there is almost every kind of fast food, including Burger King, Subway, Jamba Juice, Round Table Pizza, and Panda Express. Another place to check out on campus is Porter’s Pub, which has sandwiches, beer, and excellent curly fries. For a healthier option, the Food Co-op has vegetarian and health foods that are usually good and very cheap. It might take some work, but there is good and healthy dining on campus.

The variety of food is very small. How often can you possibly handle eating pizza? It would be nice to have real dinner meals, not just pasta, pizza, wraps, or chicken tenders.

Each place (there is one for every college campus) is known for something. Sierra Summit (at Muir) has the best pizza; Warren has the best Chinese. I’m at Marshall, and our cafeteria has pretty much everything—Mexican, stir-fry, a grill, and a sandwich bar. It’s not the greatest, but it definitely could be worse. Plus, two of the cafeterias are open until 1 a.m. They are Ocean View Terrace at Marshall and Earl’s Place in Warren, which is like a convenience store where you can use meal points. |

The food on campus is fairly good compared to other places I’ve been. Anytime you have to eat at the same places every day for a year, it’s going to get old, but the variety is pretty good. I’m a vegetarian, and I was able to find things to eat, so I assume if you’re not, your choices would be much better. |
