Students hungry for more hours at campus eateries

By Jasmin Kee

Several Kean University eateries are cutting back on their hours and some students say they are not happy about this. Some food services are closed on Fridays and stay closed for the entire weekend.

“I only come here Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays for classes and sometimes I will go to the Cougar’s Den to eat before my next class,” said Briana Adams, 21. “But now they are closing on Fridays, which is really annoying because there are not that many places I like to eat on campus.”

Outtakes, Starbucks and New Upperclassmen Residence Hall Café will stay open for the entire week. Some students don’t think that is enough.

“ I don’t understand why it is such a big deal to have all of these facilities open everyday even if it is just for a few hours,” said Cassie Brown, 20, a Nursing major.

Brian Styles, 20, Communication major, said: “ I live on campus in the New Upperclassmen building, and I eat in the New Upperclassmen dining area often, but at the same time I don’t want to eat there everyday. With these new hours, it makes it harder for me to be able to get what I want whenever I want.”
