I worked at a dining hall at a state university all 4 years, just graduated this spring. Some food was really good, some was mediocre, never inedible. If the hot line didn't have anything good there were always well stocked sandwich/salad bars and flat top grills open to students. I definitely ate better then than I do now.

As far as pricing went, it worked out to about $9/meal. Kind of high, but also unlimited spinach/quinoa/berries/fruits/yogurts vs. burgers and panda express.

I heard they nerfed some of the benefits, but as a "student supervisor" I got $9/hr and 15 meals/week for working 15 hours/week.

We had Sodexo at the small college I work at until a couple of years ago.

They're not good.

Money spent on apartment style living and chefs are targeting certain demographics of students (rich patents) and they obviously aren't spending that money on helping students of other demographics (poor, underprivileged)
