Reflection: College Food

As a transfer student from Florida State University, I have already acclimated to the idea of college food. That being said, I found I had more choices at FSU than on the UNC Asheville campus. By more choices, I mean if I felt like sushi on a Wednesday afternoon, I could find sushi. Here, it seems the food options are more limited. On the other hand, FSU didn’t have was as many vegetarian options. When it comes down to it, college food is college food. It’s not the best food I’ve ever had in my life, but it is what is offered. Because I live on campus, I have to pay for a meal plan. It is outrageously priced for what is offered, in my opinion. What I loved about FSU was they had two cafeterias (one on either end of campus for convenience), a diner that stayed open late, and a Starbucks on one of the main paths to classes and one in the library; but most of all the food court that housed Pollo Tropical, a sushi restaurant, an Italian restaurant, and a burger place. FSU’s dining was very good, but being in Asheville, I am eating much better. No Freshman 15 here.
