College Prowler Take
While college dorm food, in general, is hardly appealing, you will most likely end your first semester feeling as if you couldn’t get enough of it. This is because CU provides its students with four different all-you-can-eat dining centers conveniently located in some of the most popular student dorms. In the past, CU’s dining halls were generally loathed by all, but recent renovations have impressed even the pickiest eaters. Among those changed, Farrand Dining Hall was transformed into the hip Alley@Farrand, offering a food-court atmosphere with a deli, pizza, paninis, salad bar, and much more. Aside from the dorms, students on campus often venture to University Memorial Center (UMC), where they can grab a bite to eat at the food court that has everything from buffalo burgers and fries to a Mexican cantina. Surrounding the food court is Baby Doe’s convenience store, Subway, Wok & Roll Japanese take-out, Domino’s Pizza, Celestial Seasonings coffee and tea house, a smoothie cart, and a hot dog stand. There are a variety of meal plans available to students that can be customized according to each student’s needs. New freshmen are required to have either a 19- or 15-meal plan throughout their first two semesters in the dorms. Weekly menu postings can be found on the Web at http://housing.colorado.edu/dining.

Sewall dining offers a good breakfast, but dorm food is just that—dorm food. |

There are a few special places on campus that you can use Dining Dollars at that have good food. There are restaurants that take money in the student center, too. Of course, you can always order pizza or subs, or you can get great food from some of the great places on the Hill. Try Illegal Pete’s—a famous place on the Hill. |

Food on campus is not so exciting. It’s decent but definitely lacking. The Hill nearby has everything you could want, from burritos to sushi. |

Dorm food is not exactly great, but it’s not too bad. There are a lot of choices, and there’s always cereal, fruit, salad, and sandwiches if the meal on the menu isn’t good. |

Did You Know?The popular South Park character “Chef” is loosely based on one of the actual cooks in Sewall Dining Hall. Check it out for yourself. The resemblance is uncanny. Not sure where to eat? Check out different dining menus at http://housing.colorado.edu/dining.
