<p>I’m not in the best situation for cooking since I live in Morewood Gardens, which is still dorm style, rather than the campus-owned apartments, where students have their own kitchen. My roommate and I have a minifridge in our dorm, and I keep all my food in their. We keep it pretty cold, and I’ve never had any issue with that fridge in terms of things spoiling (actually, quite the opposite - sometimes there’s a little ice in it).</p>
<p>Anyway, I go grocery shopping once a week, and there is a shared kitchen on my floor that I use to do cooking. I mostly cook a bunch on things on the weekend, and then reheat in the microwave (in my room) during the week. It works really well for me, but it does help that I like to cook/am a pretty good cook. The shared kitchen is not the best situation since it’s small, lots of people use it, etc. I have my own cookware that I keep in my room. </p>
<p>Last year, as a freshman, I was on a meal plan as is required, so meal times were a more social experience. This year, in all honesty, I pretty much eat alone, so I guess I’m not the best person to comment on this! I do eat lunch on-campus, so I often eat with friends that. Other than that, I guess it does make me a little antisocial…
But in all seriousness, a surprising number people of people seem to be cooking in the dorm kitchen, and people eat in the common areas and such.</p>
