...plenty of room (none of that awkward I-can’t-fit-between-chairs crap you see in Adams), a variety of table sizes (admit it, you prefer two seats between you and the nearest acquaintance/awkward former hook-up), and full-length windows that gaze directly onto the river. There’s even a book-exchange shelf! Dining Hall Manager Michelle will know your thesis topic, favorite food, and go-to bad-day outfit. Mather has no dining restrictions. (Feel the democracy. Feel the love. Okay, feel the distance.) The food is premium HUDS, it never...
Pfoho also has arguably the best brain break in the Quad, and hungry Currierites and CaBOTS can be found scavenging late at night when their own d-halls have proved scarcer.

The Man has finally put his foot down. But listen, Committee on Student Life. My fellow 2013ers and I are here to tell you that this is an infringement on our God-given rights as students at a highly-selective university that generally gives us what we want. I mean, what am I supposed...
