...essential change mentioned in the report is renovating house dining facilities to allow for longer and more flexible dining-hall hours. This proposal is sure to be greeted with delight by nocturnal students craving something more substantial than a slice of bread from brain break after their dinner at an hour better suited to an early-bird special. Many students stay up long past the time when food is available, and extending dining-hall hours would reduce the need for students to spend additional money on food outside of the dining hall...
...university does not wait until the renovations are complete to address some of these issues. Though some problems cannot be avoided given the current physical configuration of the houses, others can be alleviated for students immediately. Dining-hall hours, for example, or at least the quality and hours of brain break, could be improved long before the renovations.

Until recently, the late-night food selection lagged behind other Houses', but HoCo has recently instituted plans to provide more exotic fare than bagels and cereal. Hummus and pita chips are available once a week, except when Eleganza models, doing their best to thwart stereotypes...

Brain Breaks are weak, the Grille is even weaker, and that close-knit house community can be a bit smarmy sometimes. But the culture is what really drives Kirkland's appeal. It is still prime real estate, like that cramped Manhattan apartment building you’ll probably move in to in a few years. If you score this river gem, just nod blithely when everyone tells you that...
