Just an opposite perspective on that.

I'm just thinking of first semester, freshman year. I knew no one, and meal time was a chance to meet more people or get to know them better. I seriously didn't miss a single meal my first semester. And it was usually after dinner that a lot of "plans" happened.
As I got more into my major, I too preferred the longer/one night classes, because I got them over and done with. Like I said, my last four semesters, all classes were either T/TH, T only or TH only. It was great. None of my freshman-year classes were one night a week. Though I much more preferred T-TH classes instead of M-W-F, where so much time was wasted just getting everyone seated. Early on, I didn't have too many choices.
At my first school, if you lived in the dorms (versus the on-campus apartments), you had two choices - eat at the cafeteria, or order food in. We weren't allowed microwaves, hot plates, etc. My first roommate had a dorm fridge but she only kept alcohol in it. I realize that times have changed, there are a lot more options for people in the dorms, but that was my experience. Second semester sophomore year, I had a single and no fridge. I had a 4-7 class every Monday and missed dinner, and I ordered in every week.
