What was your favorite cafeteria food when living in your dorm?

Stuart Hall - 604, 713 and 720


Dorm house was nicknamed "Moose House".
Moved off campus senior year.

There was something other than chicken cosmos and chocolate milk?


I honestly cannot remember anything else.

Hartranft also...Freshman and Sophmore years 1988/1989 then onto Acacia

Shunk Hall, 3rd floor, fall 1967. Were you there then?


Drove to Susquehanna to see the Doors and Juniata College (IIRC) to see the Association. Ate so many burgers downtown my dining hall fees were wasted.

BLTs, hold the L&T. Chicken Cosmos. The grilled French toast. Special dinners. Never had the taco dogs.

I was on an All-Star softball team that we called the "Beaver Cleavers". Yes, we were rude and crude, but loved it!!!

Chicken Tenders and Ribs

Mid 90's, Pollock commons. ate with football players. I could put away about a dozen tenders and ribs each. Jeff Hartings asked me if I had a tapeworm one time when he sat at the table next to me.

I don't remember liking a whole lot of specific stuff. Lunches and late nights at the blue spoon were great, especially if you knew the girl working the grill and never paid for a thing! As for the actual dining commons, the only thing I ever remember looking forward to were the French Toast sticks at weekend brunch. Get a bowl of piping hot syrup and a few glasses of chocolate milk... nothing better for a hangover! I remember the only way to get people up for a noon football game was to tell them that there were French Toast Sticks in the commons.

The Blue Spoon is in Warnock correct?
That wasn't there when I was there. IIRC there might have been a small grill on the bottom to the left right as you walked in from the dorms/tennis courts.

I really liked North Halls. I lived in Beam, had a really nice view of the woods and path below the theater arts building.
Had a great friend (still do) that lived in College Hgts. on Willard Circle. Really great neighborhood.

That is correct. Outside of West, North were the best dorms on campus. Great neighborhood, one of the better dining halls, small and not busy, Central to classes and Beaver Stadium, classes and Bars were all downhill, courts right in your backyard, close to the creamery. The best part, the rooms were not only bigger than most on campus, they were symmetrical. You each had a half that was identical. Some of the layouts in East... I can't even imagine.

Hartranft 78/79.... we've had this conversation before, who remembers

Dennis' girlfriend Wendy.

 

[danvillenit]

Hamilton....


late 70's. I probably would have moved off campus if I wasn't in West Halls, but not because of the food. I was just happy it was all I could eat and I didn't have to cook or clean.

Big O, we had to have run into each other back in the day--as we were in the same "house". I was 310 Snyder in 1976-1977 and then moved up a floor to 403 Snyder 1977 thru Winter term 1977/8, as I was in Cologne for Spring Term 1978. A guy almost went out our hall window when I was on 3rd Snyder--he was racing and was so drunk he forgot to stop.

 

[manatree]

507 Pinchot Hall in '90 & '91. Findlay dining hall D (AKA the dungeon) had a DIY stir fry counter. Probably ate half a ton of stir fried beef, snow peas, sprouts, cabbase with ginger & garlic over those two years.

The pot roast and beef stew were good. We also ate in Pollock's dining hall, and got football leftovers.

 

[joeparules]

Porter - summer 81
Snyder 81-82
Ewing 82-83

The best by far were the Chicken Cosmos and ice cream sandwiches. Used to stuff a bunch of the ice cream sandwiches in the back pack and see how many I could squeeze into the tiny freezer in the dorm room fridge. I would of course have to eat the ones that didn't fit as quick as possible!

I remember the night they introduced Taco Salad for dinner. Wasn't great but it was better than most dinners. As someone already pointed out the lunches were much better than the dinners.

I was on the second floor also! ***

Your reference to "Beaver Cleaver" made me think of Jerry Mathers of "Leave it to Beaver" fame. He spent his college years at Cal, and joined the Chi Psi fraternity, graduating from Cal in 1973. Five years later, I ended up touring the Chi Psi house during rush, and was shown the room and bed Mathers used when he lived there. The Chi Psis called it the "Beaver Bed."
