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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
