As freshmen with no car, we are forced to eat the selection of foods that the campus provides. Although we are capable of going downtown to find better quality food, time is definitely a factor. Many students have conflict with their class hours and restaurant hours. Are students supposed to starve themselves in that situation as it occurs every week? Parents also have concerns regarding their child’s health in college, especially when no parent is around to monitor a balance of the healthy meal.
The campus could at least extend restaurant hours on weekends and weeknights for student’s who have absolutely nothing to eat and nothing to choose from. A students health should be taken more seriously, rather than serving them any sort of food just to fill up their stomachs.
Regardless of the quality of the food at Cal Poly, students should be able to find a restaurant to eat at any reasonable time. Students suffer the lack of good food for the entire year except during holiday breaks, when students can finally get their hands on quality home food they’ve been deprived of.
