Thus, the bagels were not as authentic. But this summer, dining services began purchasing the bagels from Vicki's Bagels, a bagel company based out of Lynchburg, Virginia. Vicki's Bagels offers 22 flavors, seven or eight of which the University orders. Dining Services also offers pumpernickle, pesto, onion and garlic, marble rye and onion flavored bagels. There are many reasons why bagel popularity around Grounds has increased so significantly.
Bagels are easy, they're convenient, they're low in fat and sugar.
First-year College student Katie Despard agreed. They're easy to eat on the run, they're filling enough to tide you over and they're a healthy snack. Despard said she eats at least 7-10 bagels per week. Plus, they're more fun to eat than bread. Some students like bagels because they are such a simple, fast meal.
