The Food at Yale

<p>So after talk of all the prestige involving Ivy league universities we come now to things that make us happy and satisfied, the thing that matters the MOST...LIFE there. Within this scope, I came to wonder, HOW IS THE FOOD AT YALE? I have been observing the dining menus and it APPEARS to look good. With Chicken Marsala, pasta, and other goods does anyone have any complains about the food at Yale?</p>

<p>I think you're one of a few people who are going to Yale who does not know about the food at Yale. The following articles discuss Berkeley, before it established its organic menu.</p>

<p>Too bad Berkeley is so stingy when it comes to letting students from other residential colleges eat at its dining hall.</p>

<p>The food quality does seem to vary from residential college to residential college, from what I've heard.</p>

<p>Ignorance is bliss :)! Anyway, where do Silliman students that rewside in Swing Space eat at? Is there a dining hall for swing space or do you just go to Silliman? Can you go to every college...I guess except Berkeley?</p>

<p>You can't eat at Silliman, unless you want to eat amidst the rubble at the construction site. ;)</p>

<p>I e-mailed <a href="mailto:freshman.affairs@yale.edu">freshman.affairs@yale.edu</a> and they told me that Silliman students will have a section of Commons roped off for them. It's to try to make up for a lack of our own dining hall next year. However, every undergraduate can eat at the dining halls of any of the residential colleges. (Good luck trying to get into Berkeley's dining hall, though.)</p>

<p>Actually, Silliman will have its own quota of kids who get into Berkeley. That is, if they are letting 20 outsiders in, they are also going to let 5 or 10 sillimanders in dependant on the meal. or that's how it was for the trumbull kids last year.</p>

<p>also, in swing we will have kitchenettes. which should be cool... we talked at silliman college council about having food brought in once/twice a week or something to cook with or serving brunch in swing. it'll all work out i think.</p>

<p>morse and stiles are close and not that good but okay.</p>

<p>however, HGS and Law School are close and ****ing awesome.</p>

<p>Other burgs dispute the claim, but New Haven is casting about for an alternative to its "Elm City" nickname, since many elms have fallen to Dutch Elm Disease.</p>

<p>and as if to rub salt in new haven's wounds, the elm capital of the country has since moved south to (of all places) princeton, NJ. its "princeton elm" has proved its superior disease resistance for over 75 years and is now regularly chosen for high profile replantings, as on pennsylvania avenue in front of the white house.</p>

<p>so that's what a hamburger is. Thanks for the link, byerly. So many cultural references suddenly make sense.</p>

<p>Lmao, Haha</p>

<p>Did Byerly's thread get merged into this one? Because if it was just a reply, it is useless in the context of the original post.</p>
