An Official Ranking Of IU Dining Halls

A very definitive and scientific ranking that took years to create.

An Official Ranking Of IU Dining Halls
Indiana.edu

The Indiana University dining halls can't be summed up in a few words. It really is harder than you think, so I have recruited the Belcher family from the hit tv show, Bob's Burgers, to help me with this extravagant task. I will rank in order of best to worst. Wish us luck!

1. Forest

Forest dining hall gives you every option your little heart could want: Mexican, American, a customizable salad bar, Italian, frozen yogurt, and an added bonus a small Starbucks with the cutest desserts. It's where you gain your freshman 15 in half of a semester. It definitely has the best food, but depending on where you live it is the farthest away. Let's say a small prayer to all those who make the trek down just so they get to taste vegetables that aren't soggy.

2. Wright

Wright isn't horrible. It gives you quite a few options but the food is not as great as Forest. Still the same variety, just less fresh (as fresh as college dining can be). However, I believe their most popular item is their chicken strips. Some say they are dangerously good, others say that they are just dangerous to consume. I'll let you decide that one.


3. Well's Book Market Eatery

This I wouldn't really qualify as a dining hall, but as an on-campus cafe to the University, but it has good food so I'll put it on here. This only has three options: international, American, and a salad/soup/panini place. It also has a coffee and ice cream spot but all of these places have weird hours and long lines all the time so I'm not the biggest fan.

4. Collins

This is the only dining hall on campus that is the traditional dining experience; you swipe in, eat as much as you want, then leave. This place has a fixed menu every day so you either eat what they have or go somewhere else. This can be frustrating for two reasons: 1. Sometimes you don't want to go far for dinner but you have no choice and 2. If you happen to be a picky eater then you are going to be out of luck here.

5. Gresh food court

Definitely not the best IU has to offer. It reminds me of a middle school cafeteria with an elementary school menu. I would not go unless I was not forced to, and even then I would only get a drink. And yes, it is getting a Denny's inside but is that really an improvement?

Now I would have included the small cafes around campus but since there are so many that I haven't been to, I figured It would not have been fair to judge. Don't be mad at me, I am just being considerate. I would like to give a shout out to the wicked family that is the Belcher family for helping me get my point across.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
