College students should have a wonderful experience in school, am I right? But not if the students are starving or eating food that they don’t want. Armstrong Atlantic State University, known as the galley, serves the same food every week. The students who live on campus experience the same food every week. Because the students who live on campus are forced to buy a meal plan; it’s part of our term fees. There are some commuters that experience the same food that have bought a meal plan. The food that is served every week is low quality. For the money that students pay for the meals is not worth it because the food is not good quality. But there are solutions to improving the food in the galley. Students can influence the school to change the food. The issue is the poor quality of the food and same food every day, not enough fruit for athletes and students, and there are solutions that students can do to influence the school to make in change of the food.
First to say for others to understand the situation is that students who live on campus are forced to buy a meal plan. There are meal plans such as five meals a week, ten a week, fourteen a week, and seventeen a week. Prices start off at a thousand dollars and increases depending on the meal plan you choose. For myself I pay twenty eight hundred a year for my seventeen meal plan. Back at home I eat a lot so coming into Armstrong I figured I would need the highest meal plan but for the money I pay the food is not worth it.
The poor quality of the food here at Armstrong Atlantic State University is the issue. This is the same issue with all on campus students. I’m sure I can speak for the whole student community when I say the school food is not that great. For college students as we get older we need to live a healthy lifestyle and Armstrong’s galley does not help us in achieving the healthy lifestyle.
