Can the Ratty stay open past 7:30 on weeknights?

A lot of us have labs or rehearsals that run until 7 or later and by the time we get to the Ratty half the stations are closed and they're wiping down tables. Even 8:30 would make a huge difference. Is this something dining has been asked about before?

Andrews line at 12:15 is 25+ minutes

Timed it three days in a row this week. If you have a 1pm class you basically cannot eat at Andrews. Could they open a second register or do a grab-and-go line for people who just want the pre-made stuff?

Why is V-Dub closed on weekends when Pembroke is full of first-years?

Everyone in Andrews/Metcalf/Miller has to trek to the Ratty on Saturday and Sunday. Even a brunch-only opening on Sunday would be worth it. Is this a staffing thing or a budget thing?

Vegetarian options at the Ratty are basically rice and the salad bar

The Roots station is great when it exists but half the time it's the same tofu stir fry. Andrews does this better. Can we get a real rotation posted somewhere so we can plan?

Blue Room prices vs Thayer

A sandwich at the Blue Room is 11 points. Same thing on Thayer is $8 cash. Why are we paying more in the place that's supposed to be for us?

Late-night options after Jo's closes

After 2am on weekends there is literally nothing on campus. Not asking for a full menu but a vending situation with real food, or Jo's open until 3 on Fri/Sat, would go a long way.

Andrews should do breakfast

Ratty breakfast is far for Pembroke people and it closes at 10. Andrews already has the space. Even coffee and bagels 8-10 would be huge.

Why does Meal Plan contain 20 Weekly Meals and not 21?

Full Meal Plan should include 3 meals a day, not force students to eat one meal less every week.

Ivy Room should open earlier

It's the best coffee on campus and it opens after most 9am classes start. Even 8am would work.

Why doesn't Joe's offer more variation after midnight on weekends?

Only chicken sandwiches after a late night out gets old and I've been here for 2 weeks.

Hot take: the Ratty is fine

Everyone complains but compared to my friends' schools it's honestly above average. The salad bar and the stir fry line are solid. Fight me.
