<p>So how is the cafeteria food at Santa Clara? REALLY how is it? I just wanna know if it's actually healthy cause I don't wanna get the Freshman 15, I just gained 5 pounds over the long summer already.</p>
<p>DD will be a sophomore at SCU. She didn't gain an ounce of weight this past year. There are plenty of healthy food choices in the SCU cafe. Also, the dining plan is a full points plan (meaning you use points to purchase individual items....not a certain number of meals per week). So...you can pick what you want for each meal. DD says there is always salad, always pasta, always a main course, always bread. Food is good. But as with any college food, it gets a little boring eating the same food month after month. SCU does buy a lot of local produce, and has organic choices, and free trade coffee.</p>
