Say you’re
studying for a tough exam that’s coming up in of your harder classes. You study
most of the afternoon and into the evening. Somewhere in all that studying you
just happened to lose track of time. Then you realize that it’s 9 o’clock, and you’re
really hungry by this point. Too bad, unless you have some money and time to
spend you’re not getting any food tonight.
That’s right
Blazer closed at 8 each night, so it looks like that all you can eat buffet is
out of the question. I’ve actually talked with one of my friends who works at
Blazer, and he says that they are really understaffed most of the time. This might
be a big reason of why they aren’t really open that late.
But wait
what about the Student Center. Nope, all the restaurants within the Student Center
also close at 8. They are usually all packed up by 8 so don’t even try to sneak
in there at 8:05 for a bite to eat. South campus has both Ovid’s and K-Lair which
are both open late, so north campus has to have something, right? Wrong.
The only
places to grab a late night bite on north campus are the restaurants located
about a block west of Champion’s Court. Even some of these restaurants close
pretty early on weekdays. These restaurants are nice, but they don’t accept
meal swipe or flex.
So as
you can see this is kind of a big issue for college students. The solutions is
pretty simple though, either open Blazer or the Student Center later, or just build
a new café/restaurant with later hours. I’m sure if students bring up this
problem enough then Aramark or the school would have to do something; I mean
just think of the profits they could be getting being the only restaurant open
late.
