A student critique, fast facts, top-10 list and more on new Segundo Dining Commons
As a freshman waiting in line at the old Segundo Dining Commons (that's 'DC' in college-speak), I had a perfect view of the glittering new facility under construction just across the lawn. I eyed the glass windows of this rising coliseum with keen interest, wondering when I would ever get a chance to eat there.
After two years of waiting, my curiosity has been satisfied.
For you former dining commons patrons of two decades ago — or even two years ago — brace yourselves. The college dining experience has received a complete and total makeover.
