Ever since students returned to campus for the spring semester, some have been grumbling about HUDS food not being as delicious or exciting as it was last semester.

“I had so much money saved from this summer, but now, after coming back from J-Term, I’ve eaten out almost every lunch or dinner,” said Kelly M. Salazar ’12 as she waited in line at Boloco.

Many students have echoed Salazar’s sentiments since returning from the January Term. To them, it seems that the dining standards on campus have declined. As a result, some are choosing to eat out rather than consume what they have deemed to be the unappetizing, repetitive menus of the d-hall.

Meanwhile, Blondell Newbon has been working in the Adams House dining hall for 18 years. Having seen more than her share of HUDS food, she said that she has seen very little in terms of changes.

“We change little things, nothing major," she said. "Mainly it’s the beef that kids want, and it’s hard to provide as much as they want.”

And not all students are disillusioned with HUDS.

En route to Quincy for dinner, Rebecca J. Cohen '12 said, “I love the dining halls, the people who work there, and the atmosphere they cultivate. But I do wish they brought back the Korean Beef.”
