Unpopular opinion, but Steast is way better than IV.
Sure, IV is bigger, more modern-looking, and has plenty more food options, but there’s something cozy about Steast (if you can even call a dining hall cozy) that wins me over every time.
Maybe I’m biased because I live a lot closer to Steast than IV, but from their fries to their self-serve salads, Steast will forever be #1 in my heart. Eating at their window seats and just reflecting on your day is always a relaxing time. I’m sure this is not an uncommon debate—every time I bring up that Steast is better, everyone always says it’s understandable. I wonder if anyone has such strong feelings toward IV, I’d love to hear what they say.
That being said, I think everyone can agree, we are all sick of dining hall food no matter where it’s from.
