Every Radford Dining Option Ranked From Worst To Best

Radford University dining. Some people love it. Most people... well, aren't as enthusiastic. The reality is we all have to eat in order to survive, but most of us are too broke to eat off campus, so we learn to embrace what we have.

By the end of the year, most of us have already experimented with each dining option at least once, and most of us have figured out by now which of them we like, and which of them we don't. Some places are clearly more popular than others.

Here are all of the places to eat on campus, ranked from the worst to the best.

11. Pinkberry

Come on Radford. If you're going to provide frozen yogurt, why couldn't it have at least been Sweet Frog? I'll give credit where credit is due, though, Pinkberry's milkshakes aren't bad.

10. Dalton To Go

Every so often Dalton To Go will provide something really nice like hushpuppies or spaghetti, but for the most part, it's never been all that appetizing to me. But it also stays open an hour later than every other option in Dalton Hall, so it definitely has its upsides.

9. Wild Greens

Okay, every so often I'll desperately crave this place, and I don't even know why. But my taste bud's response to their wraps is inconsistent. When it's bad, it's bad. But when it's good, it's divine.

8. Hissho Sushi

I actually like the taste of Wild Greens better than Hissho Sushi. But, the fact that they always come in clutch by staying open until 2 a.m. on weekends gives them bonus points.

7. Dalton Kitchen

Good old Dalton. Every college has at least one all you can eat cafeteria. And for Highlanders, that's Dalton. Radford students definitely have a love/hate relationship with Dalton. It's all you can eat, but it often upsets our stomachs. They don't have as many options as we'd like, but it's so cheap. I like Dalton; it's part of the Radford experience. But until they switch up the options more often, they're going to stay relatively low on my list.

6. Chick-Fil-A

Chick-fil-a has the same problem Dalton has. There's just not that much variety to it. But the options that it does provide are really good. Delicious milkshakes, sandwiches, nuggets, fries, dipping sauces - they're all good. The food is always fresh, there just need to be more things offered. But it's definitely one of the healthier options on campus.

5. Wendy's

I have Wendy's back home, and I rarely ever went there. But after my first year at Radford, I realized how good it was. They offer many different things to eat, and it's all pretty good. I've always appreciated how Wendy's never freezes their meat. The fries are salted to near perfection. And some moments, a frosty will always hit the spot.

4. Papa Johns

I used to be a Pizza Hut guy. But Pizza Hut isn't a Coke restaurant. How sad. Because Papa Johns is the only chain on campus, I've learned to absolutely love it. Every pizza is well made, and their wings and breadsticks are also good.

3. Muse Lunch

Very good quality food, for the same price as Dalton. I love Muse Lunch, and I wish I ate there more often. They have a good variety, and it's definitely more nutritious than Dalton.

2. Muse Dinner

It costs a lot of money for a reason. It's delicious. Bread sticks with oil really work as an effective appetizer. Every option on the menu is high quality. And those deserts are something you'd never expect from college dining. I'd eat Muse Dinner more often if it weren't so expensive.

1. Au Bon Pain

Ask my friends and they'll tell you. I love Au Bon Pain. Taste, incredible. Variety, check. Healthy, yes. There's not a single item from ABP that I didn't enjoy. It truly is the gold standard of Radford dining.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
