Carmichael or Dewick? That’s the age old question, the one that turns friends against friends, brothers against sisters, uncles against half-nieces. Well, fret no more! We’ve broken down the debate into key categories to help you decide what exactly you’re looking for in a dining hall.

Best place to take a nap: Dewick

Dewick beats Carm for this title. With its secluded upstairs level, Dewick caters to those of us who just want to curl up under a table and catch a few mid-meal Z’s. Pro tip: need a pillow? Go for the vegan craisin nut bars- they have the exact same texture as a Tempurpedic pillow (but with more dried fruit!).

Best place to smuggle food into: Carm

Sure, anyone can smuggle food out of a dining hall. But what about those of us who like to help out by giving back? At Carm, the dining staff is often right behind the food, so they can personally thank you when you dump out a Spicy Beef and Shrimp flavored Cup Noodles right into the stir-fry station. Fill up your tupperwares and fill up your hearts with the joy that comes from helping others.

Best place to bring your cat: Dewick

We’ve all been there: it’s meal time, and you have no place to put your cat! Dewick has you covered. Just leave it in the gluten-free pantry and be on your way!

Best place to lick slices of deli cheese and then put them back: Carm

The reasoning behind this one is pretty clear, so we won’t bore you with the details.

Best place to moan loudly: Carm

So your dad has stopped paying your tuition, your RA took away your cat, and you’re feeling a bit down in the dumps. Luckily, Carm has some great acoustics, so for those times when you need to moan away the pain, your fellow diners will be sure to hear.
