Five Reasons Wright Food Court Really Isn’t as Bad You Remember it to Be

With comments by Jessica Yarvin

As the school year here at Indiana University comes to an end, seniors get ready to graduate later in May and those with meal plans are either eeking out their last few meal points or are buying up entire C-Store before their points expire. It’s a time of final exams and making summer plans. And for some it is a time of reflection of their past four years here at IU.

As people reminisce the food courts that were your freshman stomping ground definitely come up. For those who live, or lived in the central neighborhood, here are five reasons the Wright food court isn’t as bad as you remember it to be.

 

It is so convenient

Located right across the street from Wells library it is easy to stop in for lunch between classes. Although Woodlands has newer facilities, it is a hike from the main classroom areas. Plus Wright is open all day so if you’re on Spanish time and want a 3 hour long midafternoon siesta, it is the RPS dining hall for you.

Jessica says: Minimum walking=maximum fun

You’re allowed to take food out

Unlike Collins, the Wright food court lets you take left overs back to your room or bring with you as a snack for later. Want an ice-cream bar on your way to class? That’s cool. Snack on some Charlie Biggs as you Netflix in your bed? You do you, college kid.

Jessica says: Take advantage of your time in college because it's the only time in your life where it's acceptable to eat an entire meal in your bed while watching One Tree Hill (or Arrested Development or Scandal or Gossip Girl or The Office...)

There is spinach in the salad bar

Spinach is great for you, full of important vitamins and minerals. Even if you have a problem with the taste ranch dressing covers up just about anything. And as long as your spinach to French fries ratio is in the green (literally) your mom will quit asking if you have been eating enough vegetables. Plus since you pay for the weight you want, you can pick how many vegetable you’re going to have!

Jessica says: The darker green the leaf, the healthier it is #funfact

The orange guava mango juice

That is what love tastes like.

Jessica says: I've never had it but Sarah is a trustworthy person so take I'd her word for it

The Entertainment factor

From the large TV in the corner that you can see the Hawks play while you munch on your lunch to the grand piano that hosts maestros playing anything from chopsticks to acoustic piano renditions of Beyonce’s “Drunk in Love” the Wright food court is full of entertainment. Not to mention the occasional pledges to the Greek fraternity system who may pass through and serenade.

Jessica says: A grand piano??? Eating dinner??? Wright is like a 5 star restaurant minus the good food!
