This is part of the reason I chose a dorm that had no cafeteria and that had a suite setup with kitchens accessible to all residents. I could get a (crappy) meal on campus if I wanted, but there was really no need. Why buy a generic cafeteria meal when I could make kheema and rice?

My friends with "use it or lose it" plans would hit the on-campus convenience store and buy up shit-tons of ice cream, chips, dip, etc. at the end of the semester. It made for some interesting finals-week study breaks.

My husband lived in one of the "required food plan" dorms during his freshman year. I made kheema - and he proposed. The way to a man's heart is indeed through his stomach
