I think our producers thought two opinionated women in the same kitchen would bicker, and of course we didn't. From the minute we started cooking together we got on really well.

But besides the cost, not all students agree that the atmosphere of the clubs is community building. John Kent-Uritam, a member of Brown Co-op, feels that although bicker clubs have some sense of community, the sign-in clubs tend to contain students that aren't necessarily united by any common bond, especially if not all students got their first choice of club.
