[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dd is at a SLAC with two three main dining halls (with food stations, salad bars, bowls, etc), as well as a couple of of grab and go's, a late night snack bar, a coffee shop, etc. She really likes it - esp as a freshman, it was great to be able to head down to dinner with your dorm friends and run into everyone else there. When another dorm is having a special dinner night, they head over there. She can do grab and go for breakfast and eat on the way to class, or do it for lunch on days she is tight on time. Or just walk to lunch with friends and eat there. She particularly loves weekend brunch. Her friend who goes to a mid sized midwestern university visited and loved dd's dining system and said that, at her school, they are always using the grub hub app to pick up food and mealtimes just aren't as social and she often eats alone unless she makes special plans. My younger kid is looking at colleges now and dining halls are pretty important to him - and to me. I don't really want him at a school where he can order Chik fil-A for half his meals every week (which he would, given the opportunity!).[/quote]

Can you please name the SLAC where dining is social, and where her friend attends and dining isn't social and her friend eats alone? I can't believe I never thought of this before because I assumed all residential colleges had social dining set-ups, but if people are just pre-ordering food or you pay per item it really seems like it would be such a different experience.
