Oh yeah, my high life. Like i told Jazz in the previous comment, if you liked the tuition cost and the food quality and price at that private school in New York City, maybe you should transfer back. At private schools, there's a lot more freedom in the meal program. A chunk of your tuition likely went to keeping the prices down. This is a public school which has to follow certain New York State standards, which are often unnecessarily difficult or expensive to fulfill. Prices will always go up. That's life. If you can get cheaper prices somewhere else, go for it. But please don't sit there and condescendingly tell me about my high life. 

You say this isn't a place where people get to tell us to shut up. That's exactly what you're doing to me though. My "mommy and daddy" aren't going to save me if I run out of meal points. I have a set number of points, and if I run out, I have to find some other means of getting food. True, they won't let me literally starve, but they definitely won't help me if i don't even have 16-20 hours each week at some crappy, minimum-wage job. You say they're jacking up tuition, but Stony Brook was much cheaper than any other school I applied to. If you know of a cheaper school to go to with a better food situation, maybe you belong there. And this isn't just a place  for students to complain, this a place for students to voice their opinions to get important changes made. If you don't want any criticism to your idea, maybe you should keep it to the Facebook page, where they just delete any comments that don't claim that the portions, prices, and quality are terrible.

The food prices, portions, and quality are all fine. I don't know where you lived before, but this is New York. Everything in New York costs more. Especially on Long Island and in New York City. Everything costs more. Food is no exception. I've lived on Long Island my whole life. You can't get a decent deli sandwich for under $7.50 these days. Add a drink or chips and it becomes $10.00. Also, Stony Brook has a huge variety of food. I'm the youngest of 4 boys. All three of my older brothers went to different colleges, and two of them complained constantly about the poor food selection. There were two or three cafeterias that served the same crappy food every day and a few coffee shops. Stony Brook probably spends a lot of money to get us such a great variety of food choices. So yes, it costs a bit more. But the food here isn't that expensive. I've had leftover food after almost $10 meal I've had here on campus. So I save it and eat it later in my room instead of throwing it out. The portions are a fair size. The prices are right where they should be. And considering they have to feed thousands of students every day, the quality of the food is respectable. To improve the quality or portion sizes would absolutely increase the price. So quit complaining. Toughen up. You're not going to starve living on a nice college campus with all the other students whose parents can afford to send them to college.
