Before you leave for school, you may hear a lot about the infamous freshman fifteen. It is true that many students gain an average of fifteen pounds during their freshman year in college. There are five places to eat their meals on campus.
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.
