On-Campus Eats: Fueling Your Academic Prowess
The U-Hall (A.K.A. The All-You-Can-Eat Arena): This majestic beast of a dining hall boasts an ever-changing menu that'll have your taste buds doing the wave. Think mountains of mac and cheese one day, a fiesta of fajitas the next. Just be warned, the sheer abundance might tempt you to become a professional napper – afternoons can get a little "carb coma-y."

Think Taco Bell for those late-night cravings, Panda Express for your inner kung fu panda, and Subway for the days when you need a "healthy-ish" option (because hey, veggies!).
