[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Senior DD stayed on a college campus for 5 weeks this summer and *10 pounds. She's on the thin side and struggles to keep her weight up. The food tasted okay but there weren't enough choices in the middle ground of the healthiness spectrum between garden salad/grilled chicken on one end and corn dogs/pizza/meatball subs on the other. They would also run out of things, and the lines for the main dishes were long enough that sometimes she would just give up and go to the salad bar. She ended up buying a minifridge to keep snacks on hand and we threw some $$$ towards Panera via DoorDash, which helped. I know they had minimum staffing since it was summer and were trying to minimize how much food was thrown out with fewer kids around to eat it, but the experience has definitely made her MUCH more aware of how important the food situation is as she's applying to schools.[/quote] *lost[/quote]
