Students not familiar with the Texas
A&M meal-plan system may not only
be confused about how their mea
plan works, but where the bes
places are to eat on campus. Then
are a variety of places to eat, and eacli
one is unique.
Jason Ferguson, a junior anthropolog
major, bought his first A&M meal pla
this year and said he was unsure abou
how the plan works.
“It’s twelve meals a week,” he said. “I
don't know anything besides that.”
On main campus, the dining halls are
an obvious choice. The Commons
Dining Center is located in the basement
of the Commons Residence Hall
Complex and offers unlimited servings
of daily meal selections, including
home-style meals, chicken and mashed
potatoes. The Commons also includes
pizza, hamburgers and salad every day
— all at cost of one meal credit. Students
without meal plans also can dine at the
Commons for $4.95 for breakfast, $5.95 for
lunch, $6.95 for dinner and $7.95 for dinner
when occasional specialty entrees like steak
or chicken cordon bleu are served.
A unique feature at the Commons is
the two full-size griddles where a cre
ative student chef can prepare anything
from omelettes to specially seasoned
hamburgers.
Upstairs, on the main floor. Stone
Willy’s pizzeria serves some of the best
pizza on campus. Next to Stone Willy’s,
L The Common Denominator has a sand
wich bar and hamburger combination,
and it contains one of the three Chick-
fil-A’s on campus. The Commons
Market also is located on the main level.
There, students can buy groceries and
school supplies.
Sbisa Dining Hall, located on the north-
side of campus, is an all-you-can-eat dining
hall with renovations that were completed
Spring 2001. The tall ceilings and new
facilities have turned the once run-down
cafeteria into a place to sample a wide vari
ety of foods with a large group of friends.
Rhonda Kappler, marketing coordinator
for the Food Services Department, said
Sbisa has an updated atmosphere that stu
dents will enjoy.
“Sbisa got a complete new look. It has a
