Not sure when you were there, but after the renovation McMahon had extremely limited selection and handed you small plates of food instead of letting you serve yourself buffet style.

Yeah I think that was like 2013? Maybe 2012. The food was very good quality but the selection was often odd

Made to order breakfast was one of the little pleasures about living in Hollister. I could have an 8:00 class (only once in 4 years), but I was not missing a weekday breakfast.

No weekend meal plan, so I would go to TED's sub shop and get the Cheeseburger grinder, six patties. Half on Saturday and half on Sunday. I would wash it down with a milkshake from the Dairy Bar. My whole caloric intake would be the sub, milkshake, and assorted low quality beer.

Haha it's like you are my long lost twin.

Wow. That sucks. I was in McMahon like ~2007 - thank god I wasn't there later than that.

I always though mcmahaon had good quality food, it was the selection that bumped it down my list

Good point - selection was pretty small. Usually only one choice of a main meal for lunch and dinner.

I'll tell ya, I'm not a cook so I usually just make like 6 pounds of chicken on Sunday and eat it for lunch and dinner M-F, what I wouldn't do for an adult meal plan where I could get some variety haha.

Lol I hear that. I buy two rotisserie chicken per week and that's my dinner every night, and sometimes lunch

LOL that's part of it. I'm also allergic to a ton of stuff so chicken and rice keeps it simple.

When I was single, post college I ate a whole box of pasta every night for dinner with a rotation of sauces (red, Alfredo, pesto) and meat (meat balls, chicken, sausage) and I was a stick.

Now, I eat a “healthy, well balanced diet”, I run, I play in a tennis league yet I’ve packed on some chunk.

I’m not even that old, but life comes at you fast.
 
I think my favorite part of this thread is Pudge gamely trying to talk football right in the middle of it.

I'm about to go all get-off-my-lawn....

You kids had it easy. Back in the day, when I lived in South in a building with exposed heating pipes and a dirt floor in the laundry room, our best dining options were either a sandwich or whatever gray meat UConn managed to buy from the remaindered pen at the slaughterhouse.

I lost all my weight eating fast food so for me, chicken and rice is "healthy" lol. I've been on like 14 dates the last 6 weeks though and I already gained 3lbs just by going out and eating/drinking all the time

Yeah but you were still allowed to party. I'd have traded food for an atmosphere improvement

Yessir! It’s a lot of fun. We play at Bitsy Grant which is an amazing facility. I have to imagine it’s one of the only public facilities in the country with clay courts.

A few years before I got there, some magazine named UConn as the top party school in the country and the admin flipped out. Our RA was cool, but the head RA for South was a full-on Neidermeyer - my roommate and I were both dragged in for a non-academic probation hearing for an incident that happened in the dorm...while we were in Boston for a BC-UConn game.

I moved off campus after a year and a half just because it was too oppressive.

They shut down carriage and Celeron while I was there. They basically removed all the off campus partying. #thankssusan

The irony is that the people who crack down on stuff like that are the people who did stuff like that when they were there.

And they somehow survived.

After the guy died during spring weekend, they definitely felt like they had to do something. But they really ruined the nightlife and I'm still bitter about it 5 years later

People are freaking out about tanks in DC for 4th of July and I’m over here like they had to bring in tanks to stop my college from partying

you had nothing on the over-boiled spaghetti with spice-less watered down sauce our alcoholic small former South Campus dorm chef tossed out.

Luxury. The best dinner our "chef" could come up with was frozen chicken pot pies. And the kitchen helper used put beets into everything because they were so good for young minds.

Pasta Bar? Hah, you had nothing on the over-boiled spaghetti with spice-less watered down sauce our alcoholic small former South Campus dorm chef tossed out. That said, the monthly king crab or surf & turf wasn’t too shabby if he wasn’t all koystered-up that night

When I lived in Towers it was small dorm food. We hired our own chef (and fired one) and we ate whatever was served, family style. No food on weekends. No pasta bar. It was that way in most of the dorms except the Jungle, Alumni, Buckley and Hilltop.

My floor was so bad that they tried to put us on 24/7 quiet hours. We ended up being so much worse after that, they backed down and left us alone lol

Truly amazing that tanks and check points are not normal things at other schools. How do they survive??

That Magazine was Playboy. I think it was my freshman year. And the result of it was that we had MTV on campus two years in a row for Spring Weekend.
