Most students don’t go to college for the campus food, but when your school is serving bad food day in and day out, it can start to have an effect on the entire experience. Think about it: for most students, the meal plan at their college is the only outlet they have for eating breakfast, lunch and dinner. When that fails to satisfy, it can be difficult – and extremely expensive – to find food elsewhere.
Fortunately, schools are starting to catch on and offer more tantalizing and healthy food options for students. Let’s hope they continue to follow the lead of these top seven foodie campuses, as chosen by HerCampus.
