i feel weird about universities having big brand things like subway or mcdonald's or w/e on campus
but i also don't understand why american schools like... serve pizza or fries or w/e for lunch so
honestly blown away by the non-americans that are like "major chains on your campus??? wat" when that's a regular thing here...
like branded food is what people want. if you're going to offer some random cafeteria food, sure, some students might go for it, but the vast majority would probably eat off-campus at their desired fast food locations.

ahaha just seems weird like. as i said above, no-one here can afford to buy food when they're out. that and most universities offer their own food in one way or another so there's little demand for that kinda stuff.
no-one cares about brands either - staying alive off as little money as possible is all that matters, at least over here, haha. hell, even "random cafeteria food" is WAY too expensive to eat on a regular basis. you're better off making your own food at home and bringing it with you
Sure, price matters a lot to people, but brand loyalty is also a HUGE thing, and you don't really get that much with local university/college eateries.
The common perception, from my experience, is "the cafeteria food sucks id rather eat at (insert branded fast food place here)"
I mean, regardless if college/university owned food places do have decent food, it's not unusual for people to stick with what they're most accustomed to having, even if it means spending the extra money and having it off-campus.
LOL fair enough. This is actually a big focus of my project in business class right now: Do students eat on or off campus? If they eat on campus, where do they eat? If they don't eat on campus, why? Is it because of the price, or is it because of the quality of food, or is it generally because of preference? Some people are willing to pay higher price if it means getting the branded food that they want (like Chick-fil-A, KFC, McDonald's, Wendy's, Starbucks, Organic Food etc).

Yeah, I kinda wish that was the case here. :< It's like as I mentioned before; even IF the local alternatives are perhaps better in comparison (like say, if the university offered their own food but just made it better), I'm willing to say most people would still stick with their branded alternatives. It's unusual to me really; It's like they don't trust the university/college to make as much decent food than the bigger brands do. Or maybe some other reason I've yet to see, haha.
What the actual fuck!?there's a taco bell in this shopping centre near me
What the actual fuck!?
