Satisfying students’ diverse stomachs
In the depths of February, when the sun takes cover and midterm papers block what light remains, most students long for some good home cooking at the end of a long day. But whether your home is in Kingston or on the other side of the world, leaving campus for a meal isn’t always an option. That’s where the cafeteria comes in. Food Services Resident District Manager Phil Sparks said the University’s dining halls have a diverse menu, offering up to 35 options. He said generally, they can make anything someone can cook at home—all students need to do is ask.

Redefining campus activism
After the cheering of frosh week has faded and text books have been purchased, most students realize that, for the sake of their sanity, they need a life outside the lecture hall. Whether you’re more inclined to hit the intramural court or help kids learn to read, finding a place in the Queen’s community is a rewarding experience.
