College Prowler Take
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.

In Barnhart, there is a cafeteria downstairs that has some good food and a large selection. If you buy a meal plan, they put points on your card, and you can use them for food at the cafeterias in the dorms. There is also a place called Grab n’ Go, which is like a small grocery store on campus. If you have points left over on your card, you can go there and buy stuff like milk, bread, pop-tarts, and so on. |

Every day I eat in a place called the EMU, which is the huge student center. If you’ve seen Animal House, then you’ve seen a part of the EMU called the Fishbowl. It’s just a big room where one side is rounded and clear (hence the name). They’ve got a Subway and a Panda Express. |

Campus food gets better every year! Students are encouraged to submit recipes of their favorite dishes, and the cooks try to make it. |

Campus provides an array of food choices. The only hard part is choosing what suits you best. Freshmen as of lately have had their food options increase dramatically. You should not have a problem finding what you want. |

It’s not that bad, but it’s basically all the same and not very high-quality. The best place to go would probably be Carson Dining Hall because you get all you can eat for only 5 points (our food program goes by a point system). If you want to pay with cash, you can eat ‘real food’ at the EMU. There is a Subway and some other places there, but most people use points because they are already paid for and it’s convenient. |
