Late night Chase, while arguably not the most preferable time to eat during the day for most students, due to the unhealthy food that is often laid out. Most students still go to Chase around this time and eat late night because of their schedules, workload, or simply just because most of their friends are there.I, myself am one of those students who often eats late night, due to my work and club schedule. I often don't finish until 8pm, thus only giving me time to eat during the night. Another Wheaton College student, Chanelle '18, said, "I often go to late night because I'm a Neuroscience major and I stay up very late studying on the daily, thus late night gives me the fuel to continue to work with my studies late at night." She also mentioned that it provides a study break for her and a chance to socialize with friends.
Most students entering Chase during the night are coming back from club practices, studying or after finishing their shift at work. Chase provides a space to socialize and take a study break for most of these students. Thus, most of them choose to eat late night not just because of their schedules, but because of the experience. In conclusion, late night chase may not be the most preferable time to eat for most due to to the unhealthy selections, but most choose to go for a study break/socialize or simply because the food that was eaten during dinner didn't fill their hunger.
Luis, it was a little hard for me to tell is this was a criticism of the food available late night or not
ReplyDeleteI find myself relating with your post b/c I've come to agree with your conclusion. Though chase provides crappy food, I find myself going because it's a time for me to socialize with friends over some food!
ReplyDeleteI agree with your argument that we tend to go eat at late night Chase for socializing (break from studies, or just plain boredom), or due to our late schedules. However, I have also noticed that for some reason, the meals I eat at Chase or Emerson never seem to tide me over for very long. I find myself eating around 9:30-10 even if I have already eaten dinner (at 6 or 7). My hypothesis for the rapid need for more nutrients, is that the food is lacking a large portion of the nutrients they might normally have at home or restaurants.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking along similar lines as you Jasper. I'll often get dinner around 6-7 before heading out to do homework or something. then on my way back home around 9-10 I'll be very hungry again. My issue is that the most popular/emphasized options are burgers, grilled cheeses, etc. which wouldn't be my first choice for a late night snack. I try to stick with a small salad or sandwich if I can help it.
