What university are you referring to? Personally, I find university dining options to be overpriced, with low food quality. Sure, they often try to be healthy, but I've never felt a draw to them. The only good aspect I can see to them is the social aspect, which (as another poster mentioned) is solvable by simply learning to cook and using it to create a social hub.
I was a grad student at an Ivy League school and I found the "all you can eat" food options to be impossible; everything was so stuffed with fat that I couldn't eat much of it...
