suggestion to college bound people – get a hot pot. my roommate and i had one when we were freshman and provided you don’t get caught with it it comes in very handy … especially when you are sick and want chicken soup. cheapest soup ever – pot of water (from the sink), 2 chicken bullion *sp* cubes (about 1.50 for a thing of like 16), and some alphabet noodles (like $2 for a big thing at walmart)

i love dry, uncooked bricks of Ramen……. the reason being ive lived off of it so long the smell of cooked ramen makes me sicker than a dog that just ate anti-freeze. but then again i did go through a pregnancy while eating it so….

This is brilliant. However, I thought there were just three food groups:
Caffiene, Nicotine, and Krispy Kreme… hmm… maybe i need to go make a graph.

When I lived in a dorm my freshman year, I would always see a guy who lived upstairs from me walking around eating dry, uncooked bricks of ramen. I tried it once. I don’t recommend it.

When I was at CU in Boulder I ate all kinds of things just about everywhere. Then at Metro State the bottom layer became Taco Bell. The only thing I got from vending machines was pop—which might be the bottom layer if we talk about late night needs. The top layer was bigger in Boulder. As the nation’s number one party school (when I was there), the illegal anything list was the party favors/snacks/entertainment list.

the bottom part of the pyramid varies greatly with the amount of marijuana consumed daily.

incidentally, my graph is pretty tall.

Or the eggs at Interlochen Arts Camp. They bounce. Metaphorically and when you drop them on the floor. Seriously no camp eggs ever.

Jack, you do NOT understand… We resort to unhealthy things because honestly, the monotony of what is served is nearly enough to make us go crazy, combine that with dead week, looming finals, and a sincere lack of sleep and you would be pounding down red bull too. And studying at two in the morning doesnt exactly leave us with the dining hall open so what do we have? RAMEN and VENDING MACHINE food. You will figure it out when you are in college and for the first few months are like “this meal plan thing is awesome” and then realize that its the fourth day in a row that none of the food available to you has seemed appetizing and you muster up a mean hunger for mcdonalds. You will see oh yes you will.

There are two formats of college dining used. One- has a large variety of restaurants available but they serve the same thing every day. This becomes a problem when you get bored as hell out of what is served. The second is where there are only two or three places to get food (outside of salad and pizza) but the menu changes every day. This, although better at having variety is still problematic for vegetarians, vegans, conscientious health nuts, and picky eaters. You will definitely see… yes yes you will.

Meal plan usually does NOT come with the dorm and is about 1000-2000 extra. My school also doesnt allow you to take out food from cafe- which means eating every meal inside there. As for me, I stock up on vegetable soup, carrots and lots of cereal- its a lot cheaper and I can eat whenever I want.

I agree. :] I’m a senior in high school, not college, but every campus I’ve seen has several restaurants each and a wide variety of foods (including salad bars with very good ingredients.) I believe the object of most of these posts, as well as the main graph, was mostly to criticize the poor choices made by college students, not the lack of choices.

Hahahaha! I feel for you guys. I live at home for college, and not only do I get real food, but I’ve lost weight as compared to gaining “freshman fifteen.”

Pizza is often given away at my law school when you attend a lunch lecture. If you want to draw a crowd, you advertise “lunch provided–not pizza.”

That’s funny. Do all of your cafeterias suck or something? I just use my meal plan and live off fish, veggies, fresh fruit, occasionally pasta of some sort (they had stuffed shells and cheese lasagna the other day), as we can also use our mealplans at KFC, Taco Bell, Starbucks, A&W, Sunset Strips… and the meal plan comes with the dorm costs. I haven’t eaten ramen in years and only eat pizza when I actually want to.

By: jack

jack — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 01:27:57 +0000

Could someone make a college food 3-part Venn something like this:

CAFFEINE: Coffee, Red Bull
caf/alc overlap: Irish Coffee
ALCOHOL: Beer, Wine, Whiskey
alc/foo overlap: Beer-Flavored Sausages
FOODS: Hot Pockets, Buffalo Wings
foo/caf overlap: Chocolate-Covered Coffee Beans
…

Thanks. :] Tell me what you think.

It really is different regionally. That is just about accurate for Nevada. Right now, though, I’m taking a year in Japan, and I swear to God I haven’t eaten anything that hasn’t come out of a vending machine in a month. You can seriously get anything from these things once you know where to look. I got all the ingredients I needed to make udon from one, once. (Noodles, soup stock, egg, fish cake, those green onion things…)

Wait, scratch that. I think I got a 100yen rice ball last week. Still, I think that’s just baout it.

I just got back from three weeks spent at the KU campus, and my roomies and I lived off of cereal we kept in our dorm, ice cream, and Chick-Fil-A. Yom.

This brings back fond memories of that cute boy in my class who was just eating a loaf of plain bread one time. I actually suggested that he should go take some free condiments from a convenience store.

It’s more like $2.50 for 12 packages.

Which, if you don’t think TOO MUCH about what you’re eating, is a pretty glorious thing.
