Personally...i loved in the 90s when each residence hall had a little dining unit on the first floor. West had four dining units. Towers had six dining units (i think there are 6 building to Towers). Now yes it probably was more expensive to have it that way, but service was a lot better. The chef knew your name, knew what you liked to eat, and would often make you something that maybe wasn't on the menu for that day. It was amazing.

Now?

Huge dining halls packed with people, with a lot of mediocre slop and I see that things are beginning to get even more condensed, such as closing McMahon for Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday morning. I lived in McMahon and that dining hall was so nice because you didnt have to leave the building, and you pretty much knew all the kids there since we all lived in the same building.

I am alarmed at this action of closing it on weekends because I know the next step would be to close it altogether, putting more strain on South, where 80-85% of people from McMahon would go to instead.
