About 90% of the students indicated that they'll continue to dine in the Student Cafeteria."
Students generally agreed that even though it's common that students dine outside of school, the price at Student Cafeteria is reasonable and the sanitary conditions at the cafeteria are better than that of the restaurants outside school. The Student Cafeteria is also more convenient for students who live in dormitories. The dining environment and atmosphere of the Student Cafeteria have improved and the varieties and flavors of dishes have increased as well.
Before their departure, President Michael Ming-Chiao Lai has reminded the buffet owner to pay extra attention to the sanitary conditions of the meals that are provided to students and Senior Executive Vice-President Hwung-Hweng Hwung has expected the owner to give back to students and offer special discounts to students from less fortunate families.
