Colleges and universities have recently been cracking down on this common problem and are trying to educate people on how to prevent it.

A study done on 60 students at Cornell University showed that 20% of the weight gained by the test subjects was due to the fact students were eating at all-you-can-eat dining halls.

lol this “common problem” always just seemed like a lulzy meme to me because me and all my friends freshman year definitely all lost at least 15 lbs amirite @digitalhoarder.

oh but my university did not have all-you-can-eat, our cafeteria was mad expensive.

Seconded. I lost anywhere from 5-10 pounds when I started college because I didn’t have the time or money to eat. Make healthy food affordable, and there’d be less of this problem.

I lost 30 lbs because I was able to control my own portions and food choices for the first time in my life instead of having to eat what my mom put on my plate every day, plus I had to walk to everything from my dorm. 

I guess I can see where you’d gain wait if you liked pizza because you suddenly had unlimited access to it, but I never liked pizza much and it was my first time having unlimited access to salads and healthy sandwiches and vegetarian dishes. Not all the soft-serve in the world could derail me from it.
