Dorm food? You mean cafeteria food?
When I was in college, the cafeteria was horrible. Once we even got horse meat. I worked in the kitchen. The manager bought meat wrapped in white paper from some guy selling it out of a van. When we fried it and called it "steak" it wasn't so bad, but when we cut up the leftovers the next day and boiled them in soup, it smelled like canned dog food and everyone knew what it was. x_X;
Even the fast food places off campus were better than that cafeteria.
