McDonald’s, Burger King, Chick-fil-A or “the caf”??? Many college students may find themselves in this predicament just about every day. The idea of going to the cafeteria is most logical to some students, like sophomore and Business Administration major Troy Vermillion, who says, "There's no point in spending money when I spent money on a meal plan." He also said that although he doesn't really like the food, it's already been paid for. So it makes one wonder, if students were given the option to use meal plan in places like McDonald's, would they still go to the cafeteria?
Since the closing of The Lane Center, many students have been sustained by substitute in Tawes Hall, Sub Zero, and the cafeteria. However, students like freshman Catori Langley don't mind the expense of take-out on a regular basis. "Living in Edgewood makes it hard to get to
the cafeteria and Tawes, so I just order food because it comes to me," she said. Most students who live off-campus or in Edgewood like Catori may be more open to the idea of ordering food or going elsewhere to eat. On the other hand, students living on campus may see the expense as a hassle, so they rarely seek off-campus food. Sophomore Caitlin Moore eats take-out maybe once a week or less, stating, "I hate having to wait for the bus just to get something I could get by walking a few feet."
No matter where one may decide to eat, it is unanimous that all students enjoy the option to choose. So whether the final choice is Chinese, pizza, or Tawes, students are at least happy to have the freedom of choice, which seems the most important option of all.
