3 Of The Best Dining Halls At USC, Rated
Crepes and Cravings

If you're a student at USC with limited meal swipes or just wondering which dining hall you should go to, look no further for this is my honest review of USC's three dining halls.

1. Everybody's Kitchen (EVK)

Sandwiched between Birnkrant and New North, EVK is the closest restaurant for students living in Birnkrant, New North, and the South Residential Colleges. Its hot line usually consists of mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, thick crust pizza, green beans, fried chicken, and meat loaf. Occasionally, EVK serves up a customizable fries bar with regular or curry french fries to choose from. The best part about EVK is its soup and self-serve salad bar. However, you can expect to see them still serving breakfast food such as bacon, french toast, and scrambled eggs at 2PM on the weekends.

Overall Rating: 3/5 stars

2. Parkside Restaurant & Grill

Situated near the southwest Exposition lawn, Parkside is notorious for being a long walk for students living in the south and east freshmen dorms. There is usually a long line for Parkside's Bistro options which rotate from customizable ravioli, noodles, fried rice, or poke bowl. However, Parkside is the place for you if you're looking for Asian for vegetarian food.

Overall Rating: 4/5 stars

3. Village


USC's newest dining hall is the Village, which opened fall of 2017 to replace USC's previous dining hall, Café 84. With its architecture reminiscent of Hogwarts, the Village is by far my most anticipated restaurant to visit. You can probably find healthy options such as tofu, kale, and some type of fish here. Nevertheless, its main attraction is the crepes and gelato. Obviously, they are not nearly as tasty as Crepevine or Talenti, but you can order as much as you want if you wait in line again.

Overall Rating: 4.5/5 stars

In conclusion, considering the fact that they are located on a college campus, USC's dining halls have exceeded my expectations. The meals are healthy enough to the point where you don't have to worry about gaining the freshmen fifteen if you watch what you eat. So swipe away and bon appétit!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
