Details About this Student's College Dining Experience

NO

I registered it

Somewhat yes

I would add much more gluten free options since the current selection is very limited.

My biggest challenge is that I can’t eat with other people (go out to a restaurant with no gf options). I try to propose gluten free alternatives in the area instead.
