Obviously res food has changed a lot since I attended university/college.
One question though... if the food is so bad, why live there? Many students live off-campus and do their own shopping and food prep... an option, might I add, that LTC residents generally don't have.

I can't speak for the others, but I wanted to live in residence for the full "campus life" experience and to easily meet people and make new friends since none of my friends from high school went to the same university as me. I did move into an apartment off campus as an upper classman, though.
If given the choice, I would have opted out of the meal plan and prepared my own food in the residence kitchen, but this was not an option. The cafeteria company negotiated a contract with the university that stated
all students living in residence had to purchase a full meal plan whether they wanted it or not.
