A Wide Variety That Often Lacks Quality
Simply put, the University's meal system is a scam. It's only a way to guarantee you spend your money on campus; it saves you nothing. Your only options are a proportional split between meals, and meal points (i.e., 300 points, 10 meals a week, or 600 points, 6 meals a week, etc.). The problem is that only the Couch Restaurants, at the far south end of campus away from academic buildings, takes meals before 2:30 PM. At the Union, all of the restaurants are points-only until 2:30, and even then, while it costs $10 cash to get into the Couch Restaurants, a meal exchange only gives $7. While the Restaurants themselves have plenty of variety, the quality is mediocre, and you'll quickly notice that most, if not all, of the food is frozen shortly before it is served. Expect large quantities of food, but don't expect it to be good. At the Union, Chik-Fil-A and Quiznos give a nice break from the rest of the mediocre on-campus dining, but your best bet is to head to Campus Corner, and hit Pita-Pit.
