we survived the layover, the flight, and the tube! We’re now at the hostel and about to go in search of lunch!
AHHH LONDON!
HEY LOOK IT’S HANNAH.
SHE WANTS TO BE FRIENDS. GO BE HER FRIEND.
SHE’S PRETTY DANG COOL AND HAS A REALLY CUTE APARTMENT.
IT IS!
God, I loved that room.
you’re going to have a really great year.
Anonymousooo thank you for this question! It’s time for a Marquette Dining Hall 101 with Me!
Going from East to West on Campus:
Straz: Strazzle Dazzle has pretty good food. A lot of people swear it’s the best. Personally it’s my second favorite. It’s Stir Fry is DELICIOUS. It’s healthier food here at Straz. A little less salt, a lot more vegan and vegetarian options, that sort of thing. The salad bar here is pretty damn good too!
Cobeen: My personal favorite! This has a decently big variety. They’ve got the grill (with D! he’s great!), salad bar, deli line (think subway), international line (think orange chicken or gyros!), classics (chicken nuggets, meatloaf, etc), and pizza! It’s also home to hot cookie night (omg drool) and chicken nugget night. fun fact: I worked here all freshman year!
Schroeder: Schroeder is pretty delicious and it’s open late and it does take out! It’s modeled after an olive garden though so the food is heavy which makes it a difficult place to eat every day. plus there’s less variety. They’ve got the pasta line, the panini and personal pizza line, and the chicken parm and lasagna line.
A.M.U.: The AMU has A LOT of great stuff, but also a lot of things that aren’t on the meal plan. There’s an einsteins bagles, salad shop, the Baja (burritos and such), the 150 grill, sandwich shop, sushi, and the natural market. It’s a good place if you are on the go or don’t want to leave the center of campus.
McCormick: McCormick’s food generally runs from alright to awful. It is the most collegey dining hall at marquette. It’s a lot like cobeen, but with worse food. But it’s open late!
Mashuda: poor Mashuda. It tried so hard. It opened my freshman year and at first EVERYONE was going. Now people mostly only go if they live on that side of campus. It’s modeled after a 50s diner (burgers, shakes, and a jukebox!) which is pretty cool but the food isn’t AMAZING so I think a lot of people have trouble justifying walking up to Mashuda. Fun fact: My friends Garrett and Lauren work there.
There ya go! I hope that was helpful.
and seriously. CHERISH your meal plan. it is a beautiful thing.
hello Emily!
THAT IS SO COOL!!! You will love it in Abbottsford. They’ve got a great staff and their rooms are fabulous. Plus it’s small so you really get to know your community. My best friend Bridget (the one I’m heading to Europe with!) lived there freshman year and loved it!
You should definitely hunt for a futon, you’ll have more than enough room for it. Abbottsford rooms are big. You’ll have a mini kitchen, a bathroom, and two rooms. Most people set it up as a living room and a bedroom but it’s completely up to you. Each room will come with three desks, three beds, a couple of wardrobes, and a bunch of book cases. and that’s basically it. All the furniture is stackable, which is actually pretty awesome. You can really set it up however you want and there’s no reason to buy a loft or anything.
I’m sorry I missed your first message. It was me, not you! stupid tumblr.
I’m sad I won’t be in MKE when y’all get here for preview or when you move in in the fall! but you guys are going to have SO MUCH FUN. seriously. We’ll have to meet up in the Spring.
oh cool. so apparently tumblr has been doing the thing where it doesn’t tell me that I have messages.
this is me shamelessly taking a selfie in the Toronto airport.
I’m in a new city, in a new country, in a new timezone.
THAT WILL NEVER NOT BE COOL.
ONLY 4 MORE HOURS TILL BRIDGET GETS HERE.
