(PCM) If you’re attending Fordham University this fall, hopefully you’re not much of a foodie…or don’t like to eat bugs, for that matter!
The Princeton Review just announced that Fordham University in the Bronx has the worst campus food of all the colleges in the country, with students reporting that they’ve found everything from bugs to thumbtacks in their food!
Among the 122,000 surveys about campus life, academics and the social scene distributed by the college admissions consulting company for their 2013 rankings, students said that although the school “offers a sense of community and true college experience”, the food is just plain awful…and unsanitary.
In April 2011, Fordham’s student paper The Ram reported that NYC health department inspectors cited health violations — including mice, roaches and poor food storage — in the dining halls, giving the university very high scores between 30 and 53 points (scores higher than 28 are unsatisfactory).
“I went to the Grille and got a salad,” one student told her school paper. “I found a full grasshopper the size of my thumb in the middle of it.”
Fordham University disagrees, and told the New York Daily News that the ranking isn’t reflective of the campus’ menu, however, they will “take whatever action is necessary to address the problems with our food service program.”
For a $40,000-a-year university, they better address the problem!
