[quote=Anonymous]I think this largely comes down to large universities versus smaller schools. I went to a large university in the 1980s which had multiple cafeterias spread out on campus, didn't serve any meals on weekends, and had a lot of students living off-campus. I ate most meals alone and felt super isolated. I went to visit my brother at a SLAC and almost transferred after seeing how super social meals were at the sole cafeteria on campus. My own kid is now at a SLAC where they have one cafeteria and unlimited swipes, which means that they can hang out with friends in the cafeteria even if they've already eaten. To be clear, this probably isn't an issue for most kids who have good social skills! I'm sure there are a lot of kids who couldn't care less and who prefer more variety. Also, a lot of larger schools have residential colleges or other sub-units that enable more sense of community today than my own experience a billion years ago.[/quote]
