As a current college student here at SMU I have seen many things on campus I wish to change, one issue that has definitely struck a nerve of mine and many other SMU students is that of the food situation. Now I know you're probably thinking 'OMG will she STOP with the food talk', but I promise my approach is not the same as others. My issue isn't with the taste or the service; my issue is with the hours of operation.
Being a college student is definitely difficult at times to come up with money to eat out on the weekends, but here at SMU we are forced to pull our change together and scoop up meals EVERY weekend. Beginning Friday evening at 2:15 (such a random time) Mac's Place closes its doors to hungry youth. Soon after that, the ghost town of SMU eateries begins to unveil itself.
I ask myself this question all the time, "Does SMU think we're made of money?" What kind of image are they providing when EVERY dining establishment on campus shuts its doors for the entire weekend. I guess you really could head on over to Ump for a big whooping plate of cold cuts and Texas-shaped waffles.
Change is definitely needed as far as the dining hours are concerned. For now, I guess I'll stock up on chips and cookies from Mac's Place in hopes of surviving that long, food-less weekend.
