We were lucky, in that our school didn't contract out or food - everything was taken care of by the university. My rez had a late-night caf open till midnight, which was handy. We have pay as you go plan, so you buy so many meal points based on how large your appetite is. There's opportunities to buy more points if you need them and you can carry over a certain amount of points per semester. We had 4 big cafeterias, 2 variety stores, two coffee houses/cafes and a Second Cup cart, which was my fav.
Best part was that certain restaurants, cab companies and stores on campus took meal points so you could buy things like magazines, candy and nicer dinners. Only prob is the prices were jacked up a bit.
Food was ok - I think anytime you're preparing mass meals, the taste is never as good as home cooking. But at least we had variety.
