Not relevant, but thanks for that factoid.

W&M’s dorms are often trashed online as well, and many of the older dorms deserve it. But the school has invested hundreds of millions to improve food and housing recently and the new facilities are amazing. DD is in a new dorm and it’s lovely.
My DS is in a new dorm as well. Gorgeous.

Our W&M tour guide acknowledged that while the food has improved a bit, it’s not great. They did express optimism about the new dining hall.

I've eaten there and found it fine with good variety. My son doesn't have any complaints except that it is sometimes repetitive. There are some things like the omelet station that are very well liked.

I’ve heard no complaints from my kids that are there, and it was fine when I ate there this spring.

Why will it be better? Isn't it the same vendor?
They won't be stuck using multiple decade old equipment that doesn't meet modern day needs and building systems that don't allow any of it to be upgraded.

Good thing you don't go there! Your kid does. Get over it. College food is mostly bad. My W&M student doesn't like it but he loves the people, the academics, the professors. Always a trade off.
