My younger son has been frustrated with the food that his school offers since the spring months of his first year (he is now a junior). His biggest complaint is variety … like serving green beans three days in a row. He just assumes they are reheated. So he went to a dining dollars only plan his last two years, and it works out well. Sometimes, he will grab something on campus. Sometimes, he hits the grocery store and buys things he can cook (he lives in his fraternity house that has a nice kitchen). Sometimes, he goes off campus to one of the local eateries. He told me that he plans to save some of his dining dollars to the last few weeks of the semester and go over to the campus hotel for lunch. All you can eat (and it’s outstanding) for less than $10.
