Like most universities, UNC Charlotte has moved away from the traditional cafeteria and has opted to bring in national restaurant brands to meet on-campus demands for reliable and enjoyable food service. But national restaurant brands take profits elsewhere.

With an increase in student enrollment at Robert Morris University in Moon Township, Pa, the school has created a 24-hour living and learning environment through a newly renovated dining room, adding to the already healthy on-campus community. The Food Court will seat an additional 100 students, allowing a little more than 400 to dine in the new space, which is also outfitted with tiered seating, flat screen TVs, and a softer color scheme that will make students think they are dining in their favorite restaurant.

Taken from many sources, here are some tidbits among many that I’ve found interesting as I look at myself -- what I believe and what I do.
