Before coming to college, we were all told to prepare for the inedible dining hall food. Here’s a PSA: dining hall food actually isn’t that bad—especially when you have dining halls like Palladium. Salmon may not count as a meal exchange, but sometimes being the broke and hungry-as-f*ck college students we are, we’ve got to put our first-world problems aside and enjoy the dining hall for what it’s worth. Here are some totally relatable moments you’ve probably experienced when eating at Palladium.
