<p>I've heard from various people that UCLA has the best college food in the nation according to some rankings/studies. Is this true? Can someone confirm this for me?</p>
<p>I would also like this claim to be confirmed. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>It has ONE of the best...I haven't seen a study in which UCLA is #1. Of course, there is probably more than one ranking, and they will differ.</p>
<p>But in any case, many students get sick of it after a year anyway. :)</p>
<p>I thought Cornell had the best, and I remember them telling me that when I went on the tour there, as well as UCLA admitting they were at least #2 or 3 behind Cornell. </p>
<p>It's good food, especially for dorm food, but it's the end of my second year and I'm getting a little tired of it. I'm going to miss it when I'm eating spaghetti every day next year in my apartment :(.</p>
<p>cornell didn't seem all that great when I was there to be honest</p>
<p>It's good stuff, the few times I've eaten there. However, vicissitudes, some students get sick of it after much sooner than a year. :)</p>
<p>But hey, at least they enjoy some of the best college food that can be eaten while they aren't sick of it, and hey, maybe some people never get sick of it.</p>
<p>I think where Cornell wins is they have something like 20 different residential restaurants. Outnumbers the 4 dining halls + 4 specialty restaurants (3 next year) we have now.</p>
<p>Do the four dinner halls serve particularly different food, somewhat different food, or the same food, basically?</p>
<p>They serve different food. There's a noticeable difference in the types of overlaps they have, and some food like sushi, is only served in one of the dining halls. </p>
<p>With 20 different restaurants and their number 1 rank, I'd imagine Cornell is leaps and bounds better than whoever is number 2</p>
<p>Cornell is only #1, whereas UCLA is #2, because Cornell has its culinary students/cooks preparing some of the food...(so I hear)</p>
<p>Strangely as it seems, I haven't seen a Cornell vs. UCLA thread on CC, ever. Or else, food would be a good discussion.</p>
<p>Hrm...</p>

<p>Willamette's cafe was just on Food network's $40 a day with R Ray. Best lunch in town. from 2005.</p>
<p>Very impressive looking and priced items. I'm looking forward to having lunch there this fall with my D.</p>
<p>how is UCLA NOT THERE?!?!?! AH</p>
<p>Princeton Review hates UCLA. That's why.</p>
<p>not that I attend UCLA, but I saw this post and I wanted to provide this link <a href="http://www.**************.com/college-rankings.asp%5B/url%5D">http://www.**************.com/college-rankings.asp</a></p>
<p>the College ******* series does a fantastic job and that is their take giving UCLA an A- (with only three uni's getting an A+ those being Cornell, Scripps, and Boston University)</p>
<p>for some reason the ****ed part is "college p r o w l e r" all one word though</p>
<p>i'm sure UCLA is darn close to it. it blows away pretty much any of the california competition. eat dorm food at UCLA, then try dorm food at some other college and you'll clearly see the difference in quality.</p>
<p>I've only eaten at a few, and it seems to be the best in the state. It's marginally better than Berkeley, significantly better than USC (and that was a day that a student sitting next to me called her friends because they were serving "real food" (because of all the on campus events that day)), but it lacks a very cool thing Stanford offers- to many on-campus houses, they have kitchens with food in them and chef which comes to cook twice a day or so, and you can go in any time and eat. I don't know how good the "regular" dorm food is at Stanford, but hey, many of the students don't eat that and get other options (and not like at some other schools, but other on-campus in-dorm options).</p>
<p>i think that's kinda like harvard. each house (dorm) has their own dining room that's open pretty much all day, or so my friend (who transferred from ucla to harvard) told me. he also told me ucla food is better though, but that's harvard.</p>
<p>Dorm food is only a small facet of the food scene at some campuses. At Berkeley for example, the food offerings available to students in exceptional in terms of quality and breadth. In terms of food, Berkeley really demolishes almost all the colleges ranked by the Princeton Review and other services.</p>
