Food & Drinks
Food and Drinks ~ Eating in the campus --- Emily and Amy
It is not difficult to buy different kinds of food at 21 locations around the
campus, including restaurant, cafe, espresso bar, convenience store, etc… You can
pay your bills with cash or in some of these locations, you can simply make your
payment with your Husky card (Student ID with meal account). During the three
weeks studying in UW, we had lots of chances to eat around the campus and we had
some discoveries in this topic – Food and Drinks. We would like to talk about them
one by one as follow.
1) Dinning time
There is not much different between Seattle and Hong Kong for breakfast, lunch
and tea hours. You can enjoy large varieties of food from seven o’clock in the
morning to half past five in the afternoon at different locations. However, if you used
to have dinner after seven at night or even later, you will feel quite inconvenient in
UW. There is only one café, Terry/Lander Cafeteria, keeps open after half past five in
the afternoon. And don’t forget to go there before seven o’clock or you have to eat
outside the campus or serve yourself with instant noodles, biscuits or snacks of that
kind. For us, it was not usually comfortable to have dinner so early. If we went out for
exploration in the afternoon, we might have to rush back to school for the meal. What
is more is that sun doesn’t go down before ten o’clock at night. We sometimes missed
the dining time as we didn’t notice that it was already late in evening.
