<p>Where are you going to park, Maruhan2, if you bring a car? I understand that freshmen won’t be granted parking spaces…</p>
<p>“Colorado_mom, isn’t tiring of the food inevitable?” -<br>
Yep, but at a lot of schools the students end up in apartments by Junior or Senior year (and cooking themselves, cheaper). I still like the idea of four years in the dorms, just bracing myself for the fact that we may be paying for the dining hall AND extra food for the dorm AND some meals out…</p>
<p>oops… double post</p>
<p>Ah, yes, I see what you mean. I would love to go off the meal plan, but I haven’t enough time to cook and also, you can’t go off the meal plans unless you live in certain dorms? I think. So the 8-meal plan is pretty OK for my needs.</p>
<p>I don’t have a car myself at the moment and neither am I planning to buy one my first year cuz apparently freshman doesn’t get parking spots.
But I’m planning to have a car, mostly because I am very interested in dancing and LA is the hometown of entertainment.
Speaking of car, I know I posted somewhere else but I didn’t get a response, what about motorcycles? I’m thinking of that as a possibility. Does anyone in the Claremont colleges own motorcycles?</p>
<p>@ fiona
I know you’re from singapore.
So… do you ever cook asian food in the kitchen??
Would others not like that? (I think I might have asked this already somewhere else)</p>
<p>I haven’t seen anyone with a motorcycle here. It’s rather dangerous on these roads and I would think m-bikes might get stolen.</p>
<p>And yes I cook Asian food like Japanese curry sometimes. Noone minds (or if they do, they haven’t said anything to me)</p>
<p>that’s perfect.
LA = bunch of places to get Korean food ingredients</p>
<p>-> -> impress people with that amazingness of Korean foods</p>
<p>hey! I was gonna do that! 
I’m actually planning to take cooking classes during the summer lol</p>
<p>we’ll be cooking buddies</p>
<p>“So the 8-meal plan is pretty OK for my needs.” - Thanks. I bet that is a good option for upperclassmen tired of campus food. Some colleges only offer 15-meals or 19-meals per week.</p>
<p>a new question!</p>
<p>you’ll probably need to be an asian to answer this:</p>
<p>How close is the closest Korean/Asian market and how big is it??</p>
<p>"you’ll probably need to be an asian to answer this:</p>

<p>SO racist! i love asian food and i’m “white”!</p>
<p>but yeah, ummm… i dunno :P</p>
<p>haha.
I never said that white people don’t like asian food, but I just assumed that most non-asians would not know where the asian market is</p>
<p>Amazon grocery (free shipping over $25) has an Asian category. You probably were after fresh, less processed foods. But it’s worth a look.
[Amazon.com:</a> Asian - Asian: Grocery](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=370167011]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=370167011)</p>
<p>I’ve been thinking Amazon could be a good way to bulk order breakfast bars etc for the dorm.</p>
<p>Wow. actually fairly good pricing and cool stuff there.
But yeah, I was looking for food that I can potentially cook.</p>
<p>I’m sure there’s one around close by the school</p>
<p>no one??
oh well…
I was kinda hoping fiona would know</p>
<p>Ranch 99 in Rancho Cucamonga, ~15-20 minutes away. There’s a Ranch 99 in San Gabriel too, ~30 minutes.</p>
<p>There’s also quite a few decent Chinese and Vietnamese and Thai restaurants ~5-10 minutes both ways from campus around. I haven’t had any Korean food around, but I also don’t eat Korean food basically ever.</p>
<p>Hoa Binh is in Pomona and it’s pretty near by car >> Never been there though.</p>
<p>Maruhan, you should kbbq. I’ve never had that and I hear it’s good, I want tsee what it’s like!</p>
