Colleges Trying to Lure Students By Offering Gourmet Meals

Colleges, according to an article in today’s New York Times, are hoping to attract students by serving haute cuisine in the dining halls. Bowdein’s students have a choice of white spinach lasagna, Dijon-crusted chicken, and green curry mussels.

This adds another variable to the absurdities of the college admission process, another recent development being fancy dorms. Along with course catalogs, college-bound students will now be studying menus to decide if they should apply early to Virginia Tech, where they can get grilled rib-eye. These new perks may make it difficult for parents to get their kids to come home for vacations.
