As the saying goes, variety is the spice of life.

Before coming to Illinois State, I was really worried about what I was going to be eating. I had heard some horror stories from friends at other colleges and universities who survive on granola bars and instant noodles.

Thank goodness for me, Illinois State University could not be more different! With two dining centers and lots of places to eat on campus, there are plenty of food options for me to enjoy.

Now that I’ve got you thinking about food, take a gander at some of the delicious meals offered in my preferred dining center: Watterson Dining Commons.

Watterson Dining Center offers several drink options, including that college essential—coffee! And for those of you that are trying to watch what you’re eating, you can use the Net Nutrition screens located in the dining center to see the nutritional facts about everything the dining center has to offer as well as the upcoming meals for the month.
