This is an idea I have batted around for some time now, especially after going to a few dining halls this week. I remember in Freshman year (in the stone age) that Graham had a unique feel that Haven doesn't have, or Shaw, or Brockway. Graham Dining Hall always had BET on television in the mornings playing hip-hop music and rap during breakfast, lunch and dinner. At Haven it is more subdued. You can see ESPN or CNN while you munch on dinner, or listen to some soft rock station. Then there is Brockway. There isn't really anything to look at in Brockway, and all the tables are set up in a communal way. Kind of like in a Hofbrau House in Germany. Long tables are more inviting for big groups of friends, and the room feels less inviting than in other dining halls. At Shaw there are compartments, or places you can eat where you wont be seen by others. Which is nice if you have to eat by yourself, while also being a little sad. They all come with their own unique personalities, and it would be interesting to hear what people think is the best personality of them all.
