First day of Class

Today was my first day of sophomore year at Roger Williams; at least now I seem like a veteran to all of the incoming freshman. Not much has changed on campus over the summer, except some additions and modifications to buildings and sidewalks. One thing that I am happy to say has not changed is the food in the Upper Commons (aka the cafeteria) we are catered by Bon Appetit so we get the best of the best! We have a salad bar, stacks (sandwiches), grill (hamburgers...stuff like that), international cuisine (stir-fry it up here), cucina (pizza and pasta), and classics (the daily specials). Of course we have desserts like ice cream and homemade apple crisp too. I'm a commuter so I don't have a meal plan, but I get up there every chance I get, we're ranked the 8th best cafeteria in New England for private universities, but we should really be in the top five.

Plus Bon Appetit every year does a sustainability project, trying to get students to cut down on how much food they waste and throw away. You know, reducing the carbon footprint and all that jazz. A group on campus throws together an Eat Local-Farmer's Market too. RWU is all about saving the planet through delicious food munchin', who knew helping out the environment could taste so good?
