The latest addition to UD’s campus is the gigantic Caesar Rodney Dining Hall. Its new, jammed packed, and absolutely huge. Rodney is more than double the size of the Russell Dining Hall which is also located on East Campus. At times it could be extremely overwhelming and leave you at a loss of words. With the vegan section, the corner grill, and the bakery you’re bound to over eat. If you’ve been inside this massive state-of-the-art dining facility these thoughts have definitely run through your head:

  1. Which of the 13 stations shall I start with…
  2. Can the Mongolian omelette station please move a little faster, I have an 8 am to get to.
  3. There currently 17,000 students in the dining hall.
  4. The new “UD” waffle maker might take an extra minute but it’s totally worth the wait for a quality snapchat.
  5. If I forget to hold my cup close to the ice machine the ice will probably end up all over the floor.
  6. Is it acceptable to eat tater tots for breakfast, lunch and dinner?

  7. I need to drink as much chocolate milk as I can because after 11 the dispenser is always empty.
  8. If I drop a cup or bowl the entire dining hall will stare at once.
  9. Why do I need to duck under the glass if I want to reach any of the salad toppings.
  10. Note to self: hold your nose while entering the dish return or you will get nauseous.
  11. Yeah, you can take “togo” at Russell but Rodney is 1000x better.
  12. Nothing better than the water with the fresh fruit by the salad bar.

  15. What kind of pizza will I have today?
  16. Finally, the apples are not rotten.

  18. How long is the wait at the Corner Grill?
  19. Is the Kosher section open or “closed for the holiday”?
  20. “Just so you know we are running on a light lunch but dinner opens at 5” Haven’t heard that one before.
  21. Will there be a single clean fork in the dining hall tonight?
  22. Most likely not.
  23. Are they playing Fetty Wap , again?

  24. I’m not okay, there is buffalo chicken grilled cheese for dinner.
  25. Since the lines are so long I’ll just eat lucky charms for dinner.
  26. A scoop of UDairy never killed nobody.
  27. Why must the bakery selection always be so appetizing?
  28. Just one cookie is fine, right?
  29. Why not grab a bag of that movie theater smelling popcorn on the way out?
  30. That place is always so crowded, why do I ever come here?
  31. Oh that’s right, because it is better than anything else on campus.
