[quote=Anonymous][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.

It's pretty strange to assume public universities don't have this based on your experience decades ago.

My kid attends a big university and eats meals with others all the time. They have three main dining halls, and each one offers unlimited food. Yes, people can hang out with their friends.

We visited SLACs and large public universities, and all appeared to have buffet style. I'd never make an assumption SLACs are better or worse at this. Each school is different.
