Off campus Dining Center
There are approximately 18,000 Vt Students. D2, the largest dining hall holds only 1,100 students at a time. although there are 9 other dining halls, none of them even hold even close to the same amount. This means that at the same time, less than half of Tech's students can get food. Most of Tech's students are forced to live off campus, and coming back to campus for food is a nightmare. Parking, Lines, and no place to sit are just a few of the bigger problems that hinder students from participating in something that should take place approximately 21 times a week. I therefore propose an Off-Campus dining center that would take the Meal plan accepted on campus. Although funding for this project would take a while, it would greatly alleviate many of the congestion and inconveniences of eating on campus for both students who live on and off campus.

The reason that this is unlikely to change is because of the town of Blacksburg. Local businesses already believe that Virginia Tech has an unfair advantage in terms of generating business. The town would never approve of a dining center downtown, but businesses are slowly starting to allow students to use their Hokie Passport.

Micheles,

Can you e-mail me at brandoncarroll@vt.edu and we can go to a meeting with the Services for Students with Disabilities Office and try to make some changes and/or recommendation to the University.

Thanks,
Brandon
