Food

If you have spent any time at all on campus, you may have noticed that there isn't a whole lot of variety in the food. Sure, they make something new for all three meals every day in the Lower Commons on North Campus, but it's always pretty bland. And then there's the overpriced stuff in the food court upstairs, but again, it's really expensive and there isn't a lot of variety there either. Sure, you can have Dunkin' Donuts for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but that gets (a) old, and (b) expensive really quickly.

So when you're tired of cafeteria food, Burger King, and Dunkie's, where do you go?
Well, there are quite a few places around that accept Clipper Cards. Near North Campus, there's Salem Jade, which sells Chinese; Niko's, where you can get some decent pizza, and White Dove. In-between North and Central, White Dove is a sort of convenience store. They sell all sorts of snacks and packaged foods, as well as many other necessities. But, more on-topic, they also have a selection of grill items such as hamburgers, chicken fingers, fries, etc., in addition to pizza, calzones, and some ethnic Greek foods.
And on the other side of Central, there's Omega Pizza.

But what do you do when you've got the munchies? Or if it's cold and rainy or snowing and you don't want to walk to the dining hall? That's when it's a good idea to keep something, like Cup Noodles or microwave popcorn close to hand. And if you have a fridge, you could keep sandwich fixings or leftovers or milk for cereal in there. It's all up to you. I personally like to have a case of bottled water, a big box of Cup Noodles, and a big bucket of pretzels, all courtesy of my boyfriend's BJ's membership. ^_^
