[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Politics aside, we are from NE ant toured both UF and FSU last month. So far these are the only two schools that we've seen that have kitchens in the dorms. How cool is that that 1st year students are not mandated to purchase ridiculously overpriced meal plans and can cook for themselves healthy meals?[/quote]

My college dorm had a kitchen but in practice it was basically useless.

The cookware was constantly being used but not washed, so you had to do the dishes twice every time you wanted to cook. If you left anything in the communal fridge it would get stolen and dorm fridges simply aren't big enough to keep enough ingredients for more than a meal or two. Cooking "European style" - getting fresh ingredients every day - isn't practical for most people who live on campus, especially if you don't have a car. Plus having to cart all your ingredients from your dorm room to the kitchen every meal sucks. The oven smoked like crazy every time you used it because people would let their food drip everywhere and nobody ever cleaned it out. And each kitchen was shared by 36 dorm rooms so there was no guarantee it wouldn't be being used when you needed it. If you had an hour before class or a ton of homework and you were hungry now but someone had just started using the kitchen before you - too bad, sucks to be you.
