trinity food < hogwarts

Dear Askastudent,

How bad is the food at Trinity? I hear it’s one of the worst on campus. How can that be, given all the prestige?

Thanks!

Hi-de-ho,

I actually haven’t heard too much about the quality of Trin food. In the normal sphere of society that would probably be good, but as university students we thrive on food. If there isn’t a buzz about the food, it’s probably not all that great. Chestnut gernerally is considered to have the best food. Its far from campus but it’s all you can eat.

Here is the Trin deal breaker for me. You can only eat during designated times. If you have class, you’re out of luck. Also you have to wear a cloak to dinner, possibly lunch too. I feel like this is only cool if you have a wand tucked up the sleeve and the food magically apears on the table.

U of T is a Hogwarts wanna be.

forever waiting for a wand,

    You don’t have to wear the gown to dinner, unless you go to a specific seating in one of the two dining halls. I lived in a Trinity res in first year only went to a couple high-table dinners (that is what they’re called) all year.

    The food has improved significantly over the past couple of years, but it still sucks for what you pay. My main issue was not being allowed to take food out of the dining hall for later, which is fucking bullshit. New college has a great all-you-can-eat plan and university college has a good selection on a declining-balance meal plan, so you can take food out.

    You only have to wear a robe to dinner if you go to the late dinner on Wednesdays. But yeah. The food is awful.
