Why are there students eating outside the cafeteria? Are there really not enough seats in the cafeteria for everyone to eat at? The answer to these burning questions is that there are enough seats in the cafeteria for everyone. However, some students feel overstimulated in the cafeteria and prefer a “smaller social environment with less stimuli,” says Ben Brown.
But why in the hallway? Why can’t they eat in the auxiliary gym anymore? At the beginning of the year there was an option for students to eat in both the cafeteria or the auxiliary gym. Now that choice is no longer available due to staffing issues and the fact that it leaves more for our maintenance staff to clean up when we already have enough space in the cafeteria. Therefore, students are allowed to eat in the hall outside the cafeteria if they feel like it is better for them.
