Major changes in the works for college Avenue, several buildings to be demolished and a state of the art large student center to be built
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
It's really odd that they didn't find the money to build a new dining hall years ago.
Why would you close browser if you don’t have a replacement planned and ready to start construction?
They updated the Rutgers Student Center and added the atrium.
The food concepts in the Atrium will join Café West as dining locations on the College Avenue Campus.
The five concepts include:
- Pi Pizza
- Mezze (Mediterranean)
- Scarlet Ginger (Asian)
- Three Chilies (Southwestern Tex/MexMex
- King’s Hawaiian burger/sandwich concept
Most dining halls are moving toward individual offerings rather than buffet style. My son is on cook and eats at the Douglass Student Center most of the time.

I can only speak anecdotally, but my son(FR on College Ave) and his friends hate the Atrium and they often trekked to other campuses(mostly Busch) to get dinner at the dining halls there.
I think RU is missing the boat here.
I've heard and read a bunch of complaints that students want a real dining hall with normal sit down, not some nonsense grab and go.
Yep, Corey's friends down at RU NB have said the same thing to him. It's nice to have an alternative place to go (he had Jersey Mike's up in RU Newark), but the dining hall is a central place to meet up.
I was only trying to supply information.
I have heard that after freshman/sophmore year dining halls are overrated and a waste of time. They would rather grab and go and hang out.
Rowan moved to a pre order via the app and pick up or eat in. That seems to be the new trend.

I agree that upperclassmen need the dining hall much less. Many live off campus or in apartments and already have a large group of friends.
But 50% of students are underclassmen and the lack of a dining hall is a real problem for them.
And the dining hall can be a center of social life, especially for the freshmen.
