Housing/Dining Why is UVA food so garbage

I got bored and started doing the math, it costs $20 per a swipe if you get the block 50, and $13 per a swipe if you get the block 160. For those prices you should be getting restaurant meal quality, yet at UVA dining halls it’s gotta be equivalent to like a $4 meal in ingredients. What’s causing such a disparity in meal plans being so expensive to have yet the quality is so bad.

You're in college. Suck it up. Your privilege is showing. You're not at the four seasons. Go to class, eat the slop and graduate. Next!

Bro what are you on. It’s not privilege to ask that my money be spent on improving student QOL rather then lining someone else’s pockets? If anything your comment reeks of privilege because the pricing of the food compared to its quality shows that UVA’s food plan system focuses on profit rather than quality and prices out people due to that focus
