<p>they set up some breakfast foods outside of john jay which you can buy with first year points from 7:30 to 9:30… but yea, noone eats a “full breakfast”… forget breakfast before class you’d be lucky if your son woke up in time for class …noone is going to have a sit down meal before 9am class…not to mention 9am class won’t be an everyday occurrence and for some might never happen freshman year</p>
<p>i cant speak for “most students” but i can speak for myself…freshman year before 9am class (or work…unfortunately) i would usually not eat and then eat at the dining hall after my first class or grab a muffin on my way to class from work. like NYC, columbia is very fast paced and if you are getting up at 7am every day to “eat breakfast” then you aren’t enjoying college (which tends to happen after midnight) enough.</p>
<p>basically…don’t worry…your child will be fed</p>
