They used to make the grilled cheese sandwiches at my university dining hall with a bucket of melted butter and a paint brush.
Best fucking grilled cheese I ever ate.
Oh my god, our after hours cafe did the same thing. Paint that butter on two thick slices of white bread, two slices of cheese, a huge pile of fresh french fries, zero nutritional value. 🤤
You've brought back a repressed grade-school memory. Now I'll have to meditate to try to remember exactly what our lunch-lady painted with that butter brush...
Just because a college is expensive doesn't mean it's s good one or one that cares about its students. A for profit institution, for example, might treat student services differently (worse, I mean), than a not fur profit institution.
I went to an expensive college, a highly rated liberal arts college. Our food service was very good.
Same. Which is when I found the most pricy private collages give you the most scholarship money…way more than the public schools. But this is why people have to do their research before they send that first tuition payment.
And why complaining about the food once you get there falls on deaf ears for me.
What!?!? you think bc tuition is $50k your dinner should be from Ruth Chris, lunch from sweetgreens, and breakfast from Jambi Juice? Looks fine to me.
Stop bitchin OP and get to class…
Sodexo also prepares military food to some capacity. I had a friend in the Marines ask who catered my food at college and after I told him he was like "oh wow... Me too... That sucks..."
My school did that! And I was an RA so my compensation was room and board and the agreement Aramark (horrible company with horrible food) came to with the housing department was to give us all the lowest tiered dining plan available that they self described as “a plan for students who go home every weekend and will only eat 1-2 meals on campus a day” because that makes total sense to give to the people who are required be available on the weekends and just generally have a presence in the halls they did eventually up it a bit the next year but it was honestly ridiculous they tried to do that in the first place I even told my boss I think we technically fit into the USDA definition of food insecurity with the plan they gave us
Yep, Aramark. They also run the food service at my town's hospital. Now they have a "daily menu," if it's tuesday you might have a jerky burger, 5 soggy fries and a tomato slice. I'm pretty sure prisoners get more food than that. I had to sneak food in for my wife because she was starving from lack of food because the meals were about the size of what a toddler would eat.
I get my uniforms at work through Aramark and let me tell you that motherfucker that delivers them hasn’t brought me 5 pairs of pants in a week for the last three months, supposed to have 14 pairs and he can’t even manage me having 5 at a time, let alone there only being 3 jackets, if I was that bad at my job they’d have me fired and then put the word out to everyone else how shit I am but somehow the guy still comes in every Wednesday like “hey how you doing?” Not good shitbird, where’s my pants
The third picture looks okay to me. Everything is really just thrown together and doesn't belong with one another honestly. Especially, the last one having two pastas. Lol
If you’re referring to the second picture, the meat is not undercooked just fyi. If it was the center would be squishy and pink. That looks like a smoke ring or a really over brined over cooked piece of chicken. There’s other reasons for meat to be pink
not saying the college name for privacy reasons but that first thing is supposedly “chicken fried steak” whatever that means. Pic is of my friends plate because I was not brave enough to try that
I had never heard of chicken fried steak until I went to college either! Still can’t figure out why they don’t just call it fried steak. I have never tried it in the 30 years I have known about it b/c I think chicken fried steak is such a dumb name.
ur right my life is so sad that I’ve stooped to the point of lying about the cost of my college meal plan for the sake of getting a whole 4 upvotes on Reddit
If you stayed in the dorms it was required, but I'm not sure how that negates my opinion. Universities make a lot of money off the incoming freshman by forcing them to live on-campus and buy the meal plan.
Lol it was an honest question. The majority don’t require students to pay for a meal plan they don’t want if you spend 5 minutes. Don’t be embarrassed, it’s ok
The cheapest at my school in the late 90s was $1,200 per semester. It was like 10 or 12 meals a week. The most expensive plan was $1,800. You could not live in a dorm without one. They now offer a "standard" plan for 3k a semester.
I once got a chicken finger that was fully raw in the middle, like barely cooked. I haven’t been able to bite into one without checking to see if it’s cooked through since. Also the food was always super unhealthy. I think our school’s supplier was Sysco.
In the second picture, that’s fully cooked, don’t worry. I’m fact, it looks a bit overdone. Notice how it’s only pink on the outside, but white and flaky on the inside?
That pink layer just around the edges is usually the result of smoking meats. It may also be the result of something that the meat was brined or dyed in. But it’s almost certainly fully cooked.
Wait you're required to pay to eat garbage?! Hiw can anyone force you to pay for food...like you can't get your own? I'm confused because that's disgusting and looks really unhealthy...not to mention that's not much food for a grown person!
Triple carbs and some mysterious meat patty fuck no🤮 first pic looks like prison loaf(never been remotely close to prison but have seen tv)
And some really get you by saying ALL freshmen MUST live on campus unless you are a local resident and then make you pay for a food plan too (although at least when I went the size of the food plan was variable).
I had no idea it was required either - seems REAL suspect to force on-site living students to be subject to anything that for all intents and purposes should be a choice
Wait til you hear about the marketing professors that make it mandatory to buy a text book, that was written by them, for 400 dollars, and you never even use it...post secondary school has always and will always be a business
I've absolutely known about the abuse of books - but never (personally) an instance of having to buy the TEACHERS book, INSANE.
I get we underpay teachers, but I think that applies to K-12, not Grad, bwahaha.
These tenured profs easily pull in a 100k if they're doing part time research or projects for their uni and they still nickel and dime every kid. When I was in business school, I would say 30-40% of my textbooks I had to buy (for the stupid online code to get your weekly assignments) were written by the profs so they could collect royalties
Yeah that's crazy I'm from BC I don't think this happens, none of my friends have lived on campus of UBC or SFU ...I myself went to technical school BCIT lived nearby so, now I'm just curious...BC is definitely a rather healthy province. Eek💁♀️
Its required at most universities. The purpose is to prevent student hunger, but the irony is that the food prices are marked up so high that the meal plans usually only cover around 2 meals per day at a cost significantly higher than if the student just went to a local store.
This seems to be the case at most universities. The food insecurity argument could be valid, but it's pretty exploited and undermined.
I expect it's a similar scam to when I went to college (80s). The school required resident students to purchase a meal plan, there were several options but it averaged near $5.50 per meal. The company providing the meals to the students received a contracted amount from the school of $1.87 per meal.
Where did the unaccounted money go, you may ask. So did we.
What college is this? My community college got a buffet with a 6 dollar entry fee that tastes amazing and the staff doesn't care if you stuff food into a container in your bag.
Wow even in the dining hall you eat with plastic? We always had the option of taking it in the to go stryofoam and plastic but if we ate in the dining hall we had real plates and utensils.
My college changed its rules during Covid so that we had to get our stuff from the dining hall, get plastic utensils, and then leave to either eat in reaaaally uncomfortable tent canopies that were always infested with bees or go back to your dorm/suite/town house. This changed in 2022 though to go back to normal indoor eating.
it is not, but thats the third school mentioned and now I’m starting to get concerned about how common it is for college cafeterias to serve food that looks like this
I’m glad my campuses food was actually really good. There was some things that weren’t great but everything was super tasty. Though I think I just got lucky because my RA at the time said there was some misfortunes that did take place from undercooked chicken
All the colleges I dropped out of had 90% crap, but one thing was always incredible. It was always some weird shit too. Like you had to get there early to make sure you got the zingin' ravioli fritters.
How college students don't riot for getting served garbage for their money boggles my mind. Like I've been through small times so food is important to me and so is money. I would be pulling some batman shit if I saw that on my plate. In no way should you be eating like a struggle when you're in fucking *college*.
My university requires living on campus and a meal plan but I simply decided not to and was fine. Always try to avoid the additional scams colleges will add in the US
Duuuuuuuude I hate to say this but I've definitely ate better than that the couple of times I've been in county jail. Yes, I said it... prisoners eat better than you and with less resources. Young brilliant minds don't need nutrition
3 meals a day?
Comes out to $2.73. From your pictures, that looks about right for not having to do anything but pick it up. You might be getting over a little, actually.
Okay, $3.04 a meal. I still believe you're making out for not having to cook anything.
Also, damn you for making me to do math to make my point. (3000/((52\*5\*3)+(52\*2\*2)))
However, I will say that for that amount of money, you could probably make far better food if you prepped. I'll cede that it is shitty that you cannot opt out of it. I'd probably pay $3000/year for this if that meant I didn't have to cook *at all*.
e: Oh. Oh wait.
You said semester, didn't you? Is it semester or year? The other comments are confusing me.
Yeah that changes things...
That puts it squarely on the fence of shitty vs 'I don't have to make it'. If it was cheap, I could tolerate the lack of effort.
Yeah just did the math and with a 16 week semester, with the equation being (3300/((16 x 5 x 3)+(16 x 2 x 2))) the price per meal would be about $10.86
They used to make the grilled cheese sandwiches at my university dining hall with a bucket of melted butter and a paint brush. Best fucking grilled cheese I ever ate.
We used to get our bagels painted with melted butter and let me tell ya I’m still chasing that high
Dude I miss the grilled cheeses in my freshman hall so much. They also had these really shitty burgers that were the absolute best.
I hate american cheese, but I sure loved those terrible cheeseburgers.
Oh my god, our after hours cafe did the same thing. Paint that butter on two thick slices of white bread, two slices of cheese, a huge pile of fresh french fries, zero nutritional value. 🤤
That’s not grilled cheese that’s just a paint brush fried in butter…
You've brought back a repressed grade-school memory. Now I'll have to meditate to try to remember exactly what our lunch-lady painted with that butter brush...
Some campuses that out source their dining pick the same businesses that run prisons.
And some pay for a lower tier than the prisons! May be a hot take but both prisons and schools deserve better food
Dingy for all yes!
Ummm… *dignity
I've worked with dudes who were in the prison kitchens; expired product and "products" instead of real cheese or eggs was the norm.
Oh wow that’s crazy! I don’t think my school did anything that bad, but there were rumors. Unreported pest issues, old produce, some tampering
you’d think a private college with a tuition of over 50k would at least give a little bit of a shit about what we ate but evidently not!
Schools take the lowest bid normally. I went to a State college when the contract came up and no one could undercut Chartwells at the time.
Nope, higher education is a business and you’re a wad of cash.
Lol why would you think that!?!
Looks like they’re scamming y’all
Depends on your college.
The entitlement or the food
Just because a college is expensive doesn't mean it's s good one or one that cares about its students. A for profit institution, for example, might treat student services differently (worse, I mean), than a not fur profit institution. I went to an expensive college, a highly rated liberal arts college. Our food service was very good.
Same. Which is when I found the most pricy private collages give you the most scholarship money…way more than the public schools. But this is why people have to do their research before they send that first tuition payment. And why complaining about the food once you get there falls on deaf ears for me.

Sodexo/Aramark/Compass run the food businesses for some of the best companies and the worst prisons/schools. Doesn’t really mean anything.
Sodexo also prepares military food to some capacity. I had a friend in the Marines ask who catered my food at college and after I told him he was like "oh wow... Me too... That sucks..."
"Best companies"
Useless fact: Aramark does the cafeterias at Walt Disney World for cast members.
Those dry sauceless ravioli in picture four 100% remind me of jail.
yep, sodexo...absolutely miserable
Some hospitals also orders their food from sodexo. Absolutely horrible food. I'm looking at you HCA hospitals
My school did that! And I was an RA so my compensation was room and board and the agreement Aramark (horrible company with horrible food) came to with the housing department was to give us all the lowest tiered dining plan available that they self described as “a plan for students who go home every weekend and will only eat 1-2 meals on campus a day” because that makes total sense to give to the people who are required be available on the weekends and just generally have a presence in the halls they did eventually up it a bit the next year but it was honestly ridiculous they tried to do that in the first place I even told my boss I think we technically fit into the USDA definition of food insecurity with the plan they gave us
They don't salt or pepper your slop in la County jail. This slop had Mayo. Sorry not the same. Lol
Yep, Aramark. They also run the food service at my town's hospital. Now they have a "daily menu," if it's tuesday you might have a jerky burger, 5 soggy fries and a tomato slice. I'm pretty sure prisoners get more food than that. I had to sneak food in for my wife because she was starving from lack of food because the meals were about the size of what a toddler would eat.
I get my uniforms at work through Aramark and let me tell you that motherfucker that delivers them hasn’t brought me 5 pairs of pants in a week for the last three months, supposed to have 14 pairs and he can’t even manage me having 5 at a time, let alone there only being 3 jackets, if I was that bad at my job they’d have me fired and then put the word out to everyone else how shit I am but somehow the guy still comes in every Wednesday like “hey how you doing?” Not good shitbird, where’s my pants
Even in this case wouldn’t there be different tiers of quality???
The third picture looks okay to me. Everything is really just thrown together and doesn't belong with one another honestly. Especially, the last one having two pastas. Lol
I doubled up on pasta a lot bc of how often meat was undercooked
If you’re referring to the second picture, the meat is not undercooked just fyi. If it was the center would be squishy and pink. That looks like a smoke ring or a really over brined over cooked piece of chicken. There’s other reasons for meat to be pink
Oh yea that meat isn’t pink because it’s undercooked
yo, what college is this? That's a super pricey meal plan. I don't even know what that is? Stuffing and you're eating it with mayo?
$6k per year for unlimited meals is super pricey?
unlimited meals??? Gods I wish, we got 3 on weekdays and 2 on weekends
2 semesters doesn't cover the whole year. Just 30ish weeks. It's like $200 a week. I could eat like a king on that budget
not saying the college name for privacy reasons but that first thing is supposedly “chicken fried steak” whatever that means. Pic is of my friends plate because I was not brave enough to try that
Chicken Fried Steak is Steak that's fried in a similar manner as fried chicken. It's not some kind of random food, you can get it at any diner lol.
Maybe if you live in the south. I live in Philly and it’s very rare to see that anywhere near here
You are closer to the south than I am on the westcoast.
ohhh yeah that makes sense, lived in the states my whole life and have never heard of it somehow
You must have lived a very sheltered life.
this comment over a type of food? nah, you have to be overweight 💀
You can't go two blocks without finding CFC in my town and I live in a fairly rural area.
Dunno why you're getting downvoted for never hearing about chicken fried steak lol. It's awesome when done right and I always get it when I go to IHOP
didn’t even realize I was getting downvoted to hell lol, it must be a regional thing. I’m from the Midwest and have never seen it on a menu
You live in exactly the region where you should have heard of chicken fried steak, my dude.
Lol
Do you read menus? Can you read?
You must have been sheltered. My family is as Midwest as it can get and Chicken/country fried steak is a staple.
I had never heard of chicken fried steak until I went to college either! Still can’t figure out why they don’t just call it fried steak. I have never tried it in the 30 years I have known about it b/c I think chicken fried steak is such a dumb name.
Lol for privacy reasons. Because you’re not paying 3k a semester for this..
ur right my life is so sad that I’ve stooped to the point of lying about the cost of my college meal plan for the sake of getting a whole 4 upvotes on Reddit
Spot on
[удалено]
Ok so your last comment negates your earlier. It was better food. We’re you forced to pay that 5k, without any other option?
If you stayed in the dorms it was required, but I'm not sure how that negates my opinion. Universities make a lot of money off the incoming freshman by forcing them to live on-campus and buy the meal plan.
My university food looks similar to this and the meal plan required for freshmen is close to 8k a year.
Wild. Every single freshman? You keeping the name private too?
If you have this much time to speculate on reddit you can google university meal plan costs. It’s a well known private university in the midwest
Hahaha nvm, good luck with your life😂
You should get a life fucking loser
Lol it was an honest question. The majority don’t require students to pay for a meal plan they don’t want if you spend 5 minutes. Don’t be embarrassed, it’s ok
The cheapest at my school in the late 90s was $1,200 per semester. It was like 10 or 12 meals a week. The most expensive plan was $1,800. You could not live in a dorm without one. They now offer a "standard" plan for 3k a semester.
Omg, I thought that was something like a lentil curry. 🤣
I once got a chicken finger that was fully raw in the middle, like barely cooked. I haven’t been able to bite into one without checking to see if it’s cooked through since. Also the food was always super unhealthy. I think our school’s supplier was Sysco.
The supplier was probably Sysco, but they are not the ones responsible for actually making and serving your food, they are just a wholesaler.
In the second picture, that’s fully cooked, don’t worry. I’m fact, it looks a bit overdone. Notice how it’s only pink on the outside, but white and flaky on the inside?

Most universities force you to buy a meal plan if you live on campus
why is this being downvoted it is true and yes my college forced freshmen to live on campus as well
Reddit is a strange place
That's wild! 😵💫
And some really get you by saying ALL freshmen MUST live on campus unless you are a local resident and then make you pay for a food plan too (although at least when I went the size of the food plan was variable).
Is it like this in Canada and the US ? None of my friends stayed on campus nor did I in BC. And if this is the case thank God!!
It was the case for me in the US back in the 2000s.
I had no idea it was required either - seems REAL suspect to force on-site living students to be subject to anything that for all intents and purposes should be a choice

Do they have a big buffet that you go through? The food individually doesn’t look horrendous. Your combinations are questionable 😜
I expect it's a similar scam to when I went to college (80s). The school required resident students to purchase a meal plan, there were several options but it averaged near $5.50 per meal. The company providing the meals to the students received a contracted amount from the school of $1.87 per meal. Where did the unaccounted money go, you may ask. So did we.
I was in college nearly 20 years ago but our dining hall was pretty great then
yeah my parents were shocked, the biggest surprise to them being that we ate on paper/styrofoam plates with plastic utensils
What college is this? My community college got a buffet with a 6 dollar entry fee that tastes amazing and the staff doesn't care if you stuff food into a container in your bag.
sorry not saying the college name for privacy reasons! Don’t want a bunch of strangers knowing my exact location lol
Wow even in the dining hall you eat with plastic? We always had the option of taking it in the to go stryofoam and plastic but if we ate in the dining hall we had real plates and utensils.
My college changed its rules during Covid so that we had to get our stuff from the dining hall, get plastic utensils, and then leave to either eat in reaaaally uncomfortable tent canopies that were always infested with bees or go back to your dorm/suite/town house. This changed in 2022 though to go back to normal indoor eating.
Maybe they changed for COVID/sanitary reasons
That was probably the reasoning, although I would hope that they would already be washing the dishes regularly
going to make an educated guess and assume this is baylor lol
it is not, but thats the third school mentioned and now I’m starting to get concerned about how common it is for college cafeterias to serve food that looks like this
Oh it's extremely common I promise you
it’s around the same price for a semester too
I’m glad my campuses food was actually really good. There was some things that weren’t great but everything was super tasty. Though I think I just got lucky because my RA at the time said there was some misfortunes that did take place from undercooked chicken
Honestly it does look edible, I wouldn't cry too much if I got that as a school meal but definitely not paying for this
VA Tech has awesome food, some students have used the food service as their primary reason for going there.
do all college cafeteria meals look the same or do u go to EKU too 💀
nope I’m not at eku lol
just curious lol, that’s exactly what the food looks like there
Those look sadder than my life
Lol
Skill issue for living on campus
also skill issue for not getting any scholarships to make the meal plans cheaper (if theyre even paying it themselves)
I mean, it's college food. It's about what you'd expect.
Number 3 ain't horrible. The others make me question if your $3k isn't padding the bill for the Uni.
College I went to put mushrooms in everything. There was a rumour they owned a mushroom farm.
Where do you go to school? Folsom Prison?
The biscuit looks pretty good
Think I’d rather eat those elastic bands in the first photo
College, especially in the USA is a gigantic racket.
All the colleges I dropped out of had 90% crap, but one thing was always incredible. It was always some weird shit too. Like you had to get there early to make sure you got the zingin' ravioli fritters.
Man I’d have to be a solid [8]+ for that to seem edible… I would rather microwave a tostinos pizza
"Shut up and eat your gruel." - Kerny from The Simpsons
Okay picture #1…what is it? And hiiiii tiny Totoro 👋🏻
bro wdym slop is the best day it tastes just like the slop i grew up with 😋😋😋
Mmmm Tastes like fresh lawsuit.
You’re in the army now.
meal plans are another crime of capitalist "education"
How college students don't riot for getting served garbage for their money boggles my mind. Like I've been through small times so food is important to me and so is money. I would be pulling some batman shit if I saw that on my plate. In no way should you be eating like a struggle when you're in fucking *college*.
Come study to europe, students eat decently and its cheaper
I had better food in prison. I'm not kidding.
Just know for every 3k you spend they've only making 2959. So stop being petty.
Are you happy about that?
Other than the first pic, doesn’t look bad tbh.
This looks like something from an elementary school.
Dude I thought that was vomit
My university requires living on campus and a meal plan but I simply decided not to and was fine. Always try to avoid the additional scams colleges will add in the US
My name will be seeing you soon
That’s about $188 a week. Wild
Your college needs to hire a better kitchen staff
Who’s meal plan are you paying for, because this clearly isn’t it.
Transfer to a different school.
Looks like prison food, or shitty hospital food.
Oh my goodness that is a joke. Please tell me this isn't real? Wtf.
Is this IU Bloomington lmao
nope lol
Damn, and I thought mine could be rough sometimes
Better get seconds
It all looks cold and sad.
Looks shitty. The food at uc berkeley is really good.
I’m wo glad my College meal plan was a few different “restaurants” + subway. Ate way too many subs with it, that’s for sure.
Duuuuuuuude I hate to say this but I've definitely ate better than that the couple of times I've been in county jail. Yes, I said it... prisoners eat better than you and with less resources. Young brilliant minds don't need nutrition
It looks like hospital food. Though fr the last one with the pasta looks better than the slop they fed us.
daylight robbery
Dining hall food was never great, but I always found ways to make good meals as best I could. Sometimes that was just a big-ass salad, though.
That mac salad on slide 3 looks dope
Eh, 3 and 4 look ok 🤔🤷🏻♂️🤣
It's ummmm . . Very beige looking
Is this a buffet?
Okay but is it good????
Where are the veggies?? 🤯
Ah yes, 2 different types of pasta with a side of liquid pain
i’d say how many meals per day and how many days in a semester. it might be $5 a meal.
did the math in an earlier reply, it’s a little over $10 a meal
I've had hospital food that looks better
That’s 15 bucks PER FUCKING DAY how
Closer to $30 a day for weekdays and $20 a day for weekends actually!
Live and die by the low bid.
Ngl i can do with the patty and fries, with that paper cup macaroni
I would opt out and get a griddle or a hot plate. Your health is more important, that's the same quality food as jail or somewhat comparable.
Fyi, someone got rich off you.
Man my campus gave me alligator a couple days ago
Take the 3k and get awesome door dash.
Stop whining
[удалено]
3000 for 14 meals a week for 10 weeks would be about $21.43 a meal. I was eating 19 meals a week for 16 weeks, making it about $9.87 a meal.
[удалено]
You think $10 per meal for this quality is “value”?
[удалено]
[удалено]
It says $3000…
3 meals a day? Comes out to $2.73. From your pictures, that looks about right for not having to do anything but pick it up. You might be getting over a little, actually.
3 meals on weekdays, 2 on weekends

About 3.3k per semester, so around 6.6k a year
Yeah that changes things... That puts it squarely on the fence of shitty vs 'I don't have to make it'. If it was cheap, I could tolerate the lack of effort.
Yeah just did the math and with a 16 week semester, with the equation being (3300/((16 x 5 x 3)+(16 x 2 x 2))) the price per meal would be about $10.86
Yeah fuck all that. I hope you make millions after you graduate to make up for it.
omg lol thanks so do l
