I’m not sure why the reviews are so positive here but this was my experience . I was a student at the university (2014-2018) and I must say that the place is utter trash.

We have noticed that the quality and especially quantity of the entrees has varied greatly based on the day (special events warrant better food) and time (off peak hours leave little for students to eat). Because the price of the meals throughout the semester remain the same, the quality and quantity of the entrees should...
