15. Survey Feedback
Do you have any other concerns surrounding the food
environment at a community College?
16. Question Ten feedback
Fresh foods way too expensive.2.49 for a can of soup? Seriously? How do
students living in residents afford to eat when healthy selections are
unavailable? Or when the cafeteria is closed.
There are many healthy low-cost dishes that can be made and offered on
the center stage.
Get rid of vending machines and put in some real food nutritious snacks for
the students-they deserve it as they are our future-let’s treat them well.
I understand it is a small school, so it is very expensive, but at least use that
money to buy quality food. The specials are sub-par. Also, encourage staff to
wash their hands {more often}.
There needs to be more healthy and affordable choices in the cafeteria at all
times. Better salads healthy soup (no salt) whole wheat choices-more
affordable fruits &vegetables.
18. Question Ten Feedback Cont.
They have a culinary department-so why don’t they use the
student’s more-more options available-healthier vegan choices.
Lower prices and hot dishes need to be healthier.
Better Prices
The food at the college is somewhat costly, but it is healthy.
They do have great choices, but it is very expensive.
Cafeteria is not opened earlier on weekend mornings.
Poor morale problem.
Improved freshness and the cafeteria could be open later for
students living in residents.
Not much choice and cost
19. Feedback
Crazy high prices-gross food
Poor selection on weekends
High prices-stealing from poor ,broke students
More vegetarian options needed
The food is overpriced and unhealthy
No dietary needs-glutton free sugar free
