What To Eat In College? Don’t Worry. You’ll Have Plenty Of Tasty Options


Think you'll starve in college? Hardly! Watch this video to find out what's cooking and take a tour of a real college cafeteria. You'll probably find your school's food surprising palatable.

Hopefully when you visited the school you plan on attending, you had a chance to try the school’s food—not the restaurants or fast food chains around campus, the actual cafeteria food. Cafeteria food has a bad reputation. Remember eating from those off-color cafeteria trays in elementary school? Those lunch plates probably costed around $1, and the price reflected the quality.

Fortunately those days are all in the past. Your school more than likely has a few on-campus cafeterias, and the food is probably anywhere from pretty decent to downright delicious! Schools today face more and more competition to attract students and having good food is a major factor. The food has to be not only more than edible, schools have to also offer a variety of options. Even in small schools, those elementary days of having to choose between one or two entrees are over.

If you grew up on your parents’ cooking, well you might have to adjust your palette and, yes, lower your standards a bit. But the point is, as Jeffrey mentions in the video, you won’t have to dine on only crackers and ramen for the duration of dorm living. No one will be there to tell you what to eat, so cereal can be a dinner food! There will be a range of options, both healthy and unhealthy, but you’ll be sure to find something craveable.

You know what’s healthy and what isn’t, and we’re not here to lecture you on your college eating habits! We can say, though, that like any good establishment that provides meals, expect to show up hungry and leave full and satisfied. After all, colleges are always competing for the best professors, the best dorms, and the prettiest campuses. Food is another big draw, so you can be sure your school is cooking up the best it has to offer.
