Testing the Hypothesis, Part 2


1. On campus student
·       Do you have a meal plan for on campus restaurants?
o   Yes, I have declining balance
·       How has your experience been with eating on campus on the weekends?
o   Not bad. I have a scooter so I can go where ever I need to on the weekends since it seems like everything is closed.
·       Why do you feel that the restaurants are closed or have limited hours on weekends?
o   I think they are like that because people that live off campus do not come into campus during the weekends for many things.
2. Kid who lives in his Fraternity house
·       Do you have a meal plan for on campus restaurants?
o   Yes.
·       How has your experience been with eating on campus on the weekends?
o   It hasn’t been all that bad. People in my house have scooters or cars and I usually go with them to get food on the weekends.
·       Why do you feel that the restaurants are closed or have limited hours on weekends?
o   I think it is because there aren’t many people that want to eat on campus on the weekends because it is either a far walk or not a great place to eat.
1.     Girl living in sorority house
·       Do you have a meal plan for on campus restaurants?
o   Yes, I have a small declining balance.
·       How has your experience been with eating on campus on the weekends?
o   I don’t know much about it because I always go off campus on the weekends since I have a car at the house.
·       Why do you feel that the restaurants are closed or have limited hours on weekends?
o   I think it is because they don’t have enough people coming into campus to be open for the whole weekend and have to shorten their hours or close down for the weekend entirely.
2.     ROTC Student living on campus
·       Do you have a meal plan for on campus restaurants?
o   Yes.
·       How has your experience been with eating on campus on the weekends?
o   Not too bad because I get up early so most of the places that I would want to eat at are all open.
·       Why do you feel that the restaurants are closed or have limited hours on weekends?
o   Probably because most off-campus students and students with transportation don’t need to go on campus during the weekend, and that’s why there aren’t that many people looking for food on the weekends.
3.      Student living in on campus apartment
·       Do you have a meal plan for on campus restaurants?
o   Yes.
·       How has your experience been with eating on campus on the weekends?
o   It has not been too bad because I choose to go off campus for meals on weekends since I have a scooter that can take me where ever I need to go.
·       Why do you feel that the restaurants are closed or have limited hours on weekends?
o   Probably because there are no classes and the restaurants just assume that there will be limited people on campus during the weekends.

  1. Hey Nathan,
    I love your plan on wanting to extend the hours of the food places on campus. Mainly on the weekends is when I see the problem the most. There are only so many places open and even some of the dining halls aren't even open that late on the weekends. Also on weekdays I agree with you that the hours should be extended because all of us are tired of eating the same things on daily. Nice Work!

  2. Hi Nathan, although I do not live on campus, or in Gainesville for that matter, I believe that this is a great idea. Restaurants on campus should be able to provide food to students on weekends. Maybe they can even use students as the workers for weekends which would help some students pay for whatever they need while also providing food and making more sales on campus.
