The Student Center

Eating in the Student Center is a pleasant experience. First the food is excellent. It
is well prepared, it tastes delicious, and there are many different kinds of food like hamburgers, tacos,
pizza, and chicken. Moreover, each person serves him or herself, selecting just what he or she wants.
Second, the environment in the Student Center is positive. Many happy young people are talking and
laughing. However, the atmosphere is still calm; it’s possible to study and do homework. Finally, there
are many friendly people in the Student Center. Even the strangers say, “Hi!” and offer to share their
tables. When that happens, practice in speaking English and friendship often follow. For these reasons, it
is nice to go to the student center cafeteria once in a while to enjoy the eating, studying, and talking with
new people.
