Too bad Although Grand Valley has slowed down as GVL STUDENT OPINION fewer students are enrolled during the sum­ mery dining options should be available to This month the Grand Valley Lanthorn asked four community members: those students taking classes and working. Does Grand Valley offer enough dining options If staying on campus this semester, students may notice a va ­ riety of staples — parents wandering in Luge orientation packs, during the summerP landscapers busy at work and construction workers rennkieling and erecting buildings. But what students will not see is a wide array of dining options on either campus. With 22,500 students attending Grand Valley State Univer ­ sity the past year, there were 10 campus dining locations to grab, at the very least, a bite to eat, but with the spring/summer semester in full force students are left with few options beyond vending machines. On the Allendale Campus, River Landing in Karkhof Center is open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the Lobby Shop, where no complete meal can be purchased, is open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. On the Pew Campus the Pla/a Cate is open from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. With 9,600 students enrolled at 'No, they don't.
