Many people just eat in their dorm room to save time and because it is more convenient. If you do decide to eat somewhere besides the dorms, your choices are the Food Court, the cafeteria, the Owl's Nest, and the Ratskeller. The Ratskeller is very popular at night as a hang out and the Owl's Nest is popular for lunch because of its restaurant type environment. However, they are only open at certain times during the day. The biggest difference between eating habits at home and eating habits at school is how much snacking that is done.
Many students find themselves snacking all the time.
At college you spend the majority of your time doing work, which seems to be the time when the most snacking is done. Most people snack on anything in sight. The items snacked on most are crackers, soda, chips, combos, fruit, noodles, pretzels, and popcorn. Yet, there are people who say they don't snack at all when studying because it distracts them, but that is rare. Eating habits at college change in different ways for different people.
