I never lived in a dorm, so I don't have too much experience with dining hall meals. I typically found the cheapest places to eat off campus (or sometimes on campus) or lived off of what I could find in vending machines. Occasionally I'd pack a lunch. I think I might have eaten once with my cousin, who was living in a dorm at the same school. There was a public price - Might have been about $5. Don't really remember too much about it other than meeting her friends. The meal itself certainly wasn't too memorable.
I still live reasonably near campus and took my kid around the other day. We had a peek inside and it actually looked pretty nice compared to the stuff that used to be around maybe 30 years ago. I thought of maybe trying it out some time. The prices aren't actually that bad. Maybe $14 for dinner and about $10 for a child. Seems comparable to Golden Corral prices. Maybe less since I'm pretty sure they include beverages.
I do remember attending a family retreat at a college campus. Meals in the dining commons were included. We had a field day and I'd think it was better than many buffets I've had in my day. This was before school had started so it was a lot of people there for summer sessions and maybe some athletes since their seasons and practice started before the beginning of the school year.
I was just thinking it might feel a little odd just a family dining at a place like that.
