[nabs-l] College Dining Hall

[Arielle Silverman]

I agree with the idea of walking around the dining hall by yourself
first, at a slow time, to see what the layout is like. You might find
there are a couple of counters that have most of the food you like and
then you can memorize where those counters are and get to know the
people who work them. Also sometimes parts of the dining hall are
cafeteria-style so you can order what you want and have it served to
you on a tray. If it is a true buffet, meaning you have to find and
serve the food yourself, then either getting help from an employee or
asking for information from the person in front of you in line are
both good options. I know when I was in college, I opted out of
buffets completely and would get most of my food either at a food
court at the student union (which was cafeteria-style service places
like Chic Filet and Einstein Bagels) or I would buy microwave meals
and snacks to keep in my dorm. This wasn't really because of blindness
,just personal preference (plus I'm a small eater so all-you-can-eat
isn't usually cost-effective for me :). But your school may have some
non-buffet options that are also less crowded and might even have
better-quality food.
