Dorm Food

I have had a few different conversations come up this week redarding food in the dorms at U of I so I thought I would blog about it. First, I live in Bromley Hall which is one of the private certified dorms. We are paying more money to live at this dorm and have special and weird meal plans. We get either two or three meals a day and there are no "rollover" meals. There are very few options for each meal and even when there are options the food is awful. I can probably count the number of times I have eaten the hot food at Bromley on one hand. Every other day I eat the salads and sandwhiches. It really sucks when all you have to eat are turkey sandwhiches everyday and sometimes twice a day. I was talking to my friend, who is currently a senior in high school and just was accepted to the University of Illinois, and I was helping her decide which dorms would be best to apply to . And being perfectly honest...because the food is so awful at Bromley I do not know if I would recommend it. The only good part is that there is only a very slim chance that you will gain the freshman fifteen which for girls at least is a nice little bonus. I feel like because U of I is such a great school we should have better food options especially in private dorms when we are paying more money. I visited my friend at Purdue and there was not even a comparison to the food quality between my dorm and my friend's dorm. I really hope Bromley can do something about the food for next year so that there is at least a little desire to eat the food here.
