What I don’t like (and I will name names): the food service situation at Penn is a mess. The biggest problem is that dining halls are open very limited hours. I contrast the situation with Vassar, where my son goes, and which uses the same food service provider. At Vassar, not only is the food better than at Penn, but the dining hall is open from early morning until late night and students get unlimited “swipes.” Penn could have a couple of locations that are open extended hours, instead of shutting kids out (and closing on weekends, which many Penn dining halls do). Vassar charges less, too.
There are other things I don’t like, but I will save them for another time…
