<p>How is the on-campus food service and does College Park have any good places to eat?</p>
<p>Dining halls are okay, some stuff’s pretty good. It’s definitely not bad, but not terrific. CP has lots of places to eat. Route 1 is full of food places, like Applebee’s, Chipotle, Subway, tons of pizza places, and more. Go to campusfood.com and to University of Maryland for a list of all the nearby food places.</p>
<p>there’s also fast food places on campus like chick-fil-a and mcdonalds, but you can’t use meal points there</p>
<p>the food is really bad. you pretty much will end up eating a buttload of junkfood</p>
<p>Noodles and company</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>That does seem like an appropriate unit of measure in this case.</p>
<p>Hahahaha. Quite true. New students quickly figure out that almost every food place in College Park delivers food free (including to the dorms). Although as a parent, I was amazed with how many choices there were in the dorm diners, both of my DDs got tired quickly with the food, and/or they had strange schedules so they ended up eating at “off” times when there weren’t as many choices.</p>
<p>“Although as a parent, I was amazed with how many choices there were in the dorm diners,”</p>
<p>Yes, … lots of choices! I somehow(sarc) was able to get through fall semester without ever resorting to “junk food”. I think student eating habits are set before they arrive here. To some, a plate of broiled chicken, corn and broccoli “is really bad”, while for me, it’s kind of like home.</p>
<p>I just transferred here (literally moved last weekend). </p>
<p>I live off campus and most people don’t have a meal plan because it is overpriced and the food is terrible.</p>
<p>They just wait for the financial money to come back in the form of a check if they have any left over. Then you put that money in your checking account and just buy food out or buy food to cook.</p>
