Oh boy… the facilities are great, but that’s about where the greatness ends. I get that the dining hall is still fairly new, but there are some significant downfalls that aren’t being addressed.

First off, why have an upstairs dining section if you’re never going to open it for use? Second, when the cafeteria is almost at max capacity, why are you still letting non-students come in to eat? Tables are only clean when the doors first open, the food is rarely savoury. And the soda fountain is usually out of syrup. Food gets left out for an uncomfortable amount of time and as someone who worked in fast food for a long time, I know for a fact the employees aren’t following food handlers safety.

It’s sort of a shame that students without kitchens on campus have to rely on the dining hall in this condition, especially with people from off campus coming in and taking up room. Locals treat it like a regular restaurant, but it’s really a shared kitchen for a thousand students who don’t have a kitchen to use.

The place has great potential, but it seems like the management and attention to detail just isn’t there.
