A reoccurring problem I run into on campus is with the dining hours. As someone who lives in Headington Hall, I have Wagner Dining Hall on the first level of my building. While this is easy access for me, dining hours close for lunch at 2pm, and reopen 4:30-8pm for dinner hours. While these are convenient for the workers, I am balancing a lot of classes between 11am and 2pm and some days do not even have time to eat Lunch in my own dining hall. While I could always go to the Couch Cafeteria, they also close at 2pm, meaning my only options available are the Union, who are only open until 5pm, and the cross restaurants, which are only open until 10pm. While there are some options when my dining hall closes, they are either very limited or very far.
One solution for easily accessible restaurants is to just make all the dining halls 24 hour or open until midnight. By keeping dining halls open until midnight, there will not be anyone trying to balance their classes over eating a good lunch or dinner. This will provide multiple options for students at any time and allow students to use all of their meal swipes throughout the week, as the union will not take them until 2pm which is not during normal lunch hours.
