Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

In the past few years, the University of Oregon has expanded its on-campus dining to include a full coffeehouse, bakery, and grill. The University offers a selection to suit any appetite, from two dining centers providing all-you-can-eat buffets to the popular Grab ‘N Go Marketplace and its fast food options. Students see the food itself as standard dorm fare, but the variety of options makes it more palatable. You can usually find something on campus that you’re not sick of, even if it’s not the highest-quality cuisine. There is only one meal plan available—a points-based system—but it comes in three different sizes, depending on your appetite.

You can use your points at the main campus eateries and even treat your friends with your meal plan. Occasionally, you may want to indulge in the EMU’s food court, which doesn’t accept the point system. Too much of this can get really expensive, though. One interesting feature of Oregon’s meal plan is that students are encouraged to submit recipes to the Dining Services director and may even have their food incorporated into the dining hall offerings. Check out the Dining section of the Housing Services Web site (housing.uoregon.edu/din) for more details.

Food Is Good, but as With Anything, Gets Old

There is a good variety of different types of food to eat on campus. There's Hamilton, which has a Mexican food place, an Asian food place, a Coffee place, and the Grab N Go, which has sandwiches, hamburgers, other entrees, and a small food market. In the LLC is the Dux Bistro, which has salads, soups, sushi, a coffe place, desserts, sandwiches, and other items such as yogurt and drinks. There is also Carson, which is an all-you-can-eat buffet-style place where you can get lunch or dinner. It is a good bargain if you have a good apetite, and the food is really good there. The food is pretty good anywhere, although I would say the worst food is in Hamilton Grab N Go - the entrees that they prepare besides the sandwiches and hamburgers, like pasta, steamed vegetables, or whatever they have that day, which is much like the bad cafeteria food that's in high school. I think the Standard Meal Plan is the best plan, unless you eat a lot, in which case you should get the Deluxe Meal Plan.

Alright but Nothing Like Home

There are lots of options as far as the dining goes but you can go through them pretty quickly. Nothing really compares to home cooking. Some of the food gets old sometimes but overall there is something there for everyone.
