Will Harvard lure Mario Batali? Can a freshman get a good table in the dining hall? by Sybil Sage

Colleges, according to an article in today's New York Times, are hoping to attract students by serving haute cuisine in the dining halls. Bowdein's students have a choice of white spinach lasagne, Dijon-crusted chicken and green curry mussels.

This adds one more variable to the absurdities of the college admission process, another recent development being fancy dorms. Along with course catalogs, college-bound students will now be studying menus to decide if they should apply early to Virginia Tech for the grilled rib-eye. These new perks may make it difficult for parents to get their kids to come home for vacations.
