When students are away from home, only when they are comfortable with what they eat can they do other things more smoothly. So which university cafeteria in the United States is the best? Let's take a look.

1. UCLA

School has 8 dining spots, 4 of which can be drunk indefinitely, with Flex Bar bar and online service for ordering pizza and chicken wings. In order to meet the different dining requirements of thousands of students, the school provides Jewish food, halal food, vegetarian food, gluten-free food and other foods. The food at UCLA is very creative, and friends can use Italian smoked ham, salmon, Swiss beets and other foods from all over the world to match their own menus.

School catering has done a good job in sustainable development. Schools buy eggs that are not kept in cages, coffee certified by Fair Trade and organic fruits and vegetables certified by the United States Department of Agriculture. In addition to self-made fertilizer, recycling and the implementation of the tray-less catering plan, the school will also hold activities such as "No Beef Thursday" and "Green Monday" to promote environmental protection.

UCLA is a paradise for vegetarians. It was once rated as "the most popular campus for vegetarians", and it is one of the schools with the first health-oriented restaurant in China.

2. Amherst College, Massachusetts

amherst's catering plan focuses on the integration of health and world flavor, and sushi, pizza, tacos or Italian ice cream are essential foods. The school has 4 restaurants, 18 cafes, 2 food trucks, 1 bakeries and delivery service, and provides Jewish food, halal food and other foods. Schools often hire top chefs to hold activities, including barbecues, holiday dinners, farmers' markets, and even send trucks with hamburgers and burritos to benefit the campus.

amherst is the first school to provide SPE-certified meals, and the nutrition and taste of the food coexist. Committed to reducing waste through the pallet-free plan and prohibiting the use of plastic bags. The restaurant made a garbage monster with non-recyclable materials to remind students to reduce waste, which was very shocking.

3. Bowdoin College

Although Bowdoin College is small in scale and has a small number of students, it does not prevent the school from indulging in carefully prepared meals in the canteen, which is delicious and rich, so many people wonder whether the school spends too much money on catering. There are five restaurants in the school, featuring China, Italian, American and Mexican cuisines. Lobster barbecue will be held at the beginning of each school year, and the daily menu will be adjusted according to the season.

The school has its own farm to produce organic agricultural products, and many raw materials such as meat and lobster will choose local suppliers. The school also cooperates with other non-profit organizations and is committed to sustainable development to reduce food waste.

4. Former first lady Michelle Obama of Virginia Tech

called it "the best campus food you have ever eaten" at the graduation ceremony. There are 12 restaurants in the school, which are open from 7 am to 2 am. Many restaurants offer special cuisine, such as Grillfield Restaurant serving Latin fusion dishes, Periodic Table serving Asian flavor dishes, Origami is a Japanese steakhouse, and there is a sushi bar and barbecue table on the second floor of Turner Place.

The ingredients are very safe, because the school has its own farm covering 6 acres to provide meat and is self-sufficient. In addition to restaurants and cafes, the school also has two trucks to bring food comfort to its friends.

5. The University of California, San Diego

has 17 dining spots and 2 food trucks on campus, which provide a variety of choices such as Jewish food, halal food and vegetarian food. Vegetarians and students who are allergic to some foods have special dining areas. In order to ensure the health of students on campus, the school has nutritionists to help students customize the menu.

6. Cal Dining restaurant in the

school of Berkeley, California is one of the most environmentally friendly catering services in the United States. The school provides vegan, non-dairy and Jewish food, and the restaurant focuses on the taste, category and health of food, avoiding the use of trans fats and providing sugar-free drinks.

Extended reading:

Generally, students who have just arrived in the United States to study abroad will choose to eat in the school cafeteria. Because there is no convenient means of transportation to go out to eat, and it may not be long before the next class starts, it is more convenient to choose the school district canteen for dining because of the tight time. The characteristic of the school canteen is that the selectivity of eating may be less, and there may be more people who eat in a short time at noon, but the advantage is that you can see many students you know when you eat in the canteen, which can promote the connection between students.

In addition, after busy study, students occasionally go out to experience the food in restaurants outside, for a change, and taste American specialties.

American restaurants are generally divided into cafeteria, formal restaurant and fast food restaurant. American fast food restaurants, such as McDonald's, KFC, Burger King and so on, abound. These fast food restaurants can not only eat in the store, but also drive thru to take meals, which is very convenient. Most western restaurants in the United States mainly eat steaks. Generally speaking, when China students order steaks, they taste better when they are cooked at 6 or 7 minutes. There are also all kinds of small cafes that are very good. When you go to a coffee shop, you can have a cup of coffee for more than one dollar and a plate of ice cream for two or three dollars. It's very pleasant to chat while eating. American ice cream is a must, there are all kinds of ice cream, and it is full of crispy nuts, which is very delicious.

fast food is more expensive in America than in China, but a big meal is much cheaper than in China. If you go to eat seafood with friends, 11 people will eat lobster, emperor crab, plus soup, water and about 11 dishes, and you can pack enough for a meal of about 311 dollars. You can't buy a lobster in China. I think this may also be one of the reasons why China people generally get fat when they come to the United States.

For students who want to eat Chinese food in the United States, they can go to a Chinese restaurant near the university. Chinese restaurants near the school are likely to offer discounts of 11-15% to students, or regular customers, and generally offer discounts. It is best to ask before going. Moreover, in order to avoid tax evasion, some restaurants will pay in cash, which will be cheaper. These places are different, so we should ask more about them from the local predecessors.

finally, let's talk about cooking by yourself. Most students who have just gone abroad to study may not be able to cook in China, but the key to studying abroad is to exercise students' independence. Cooking by yourself is healthy and economical. Many international students like to get together, cook a few dishes, eat and chat together and share a happy day.
