Published: Friday, March 12th, 2010

Last fall marked the opening of the newest of the three dining co-ops, the International Food Co-op. Even with this addition, however, all three co-ops have already filled to capacity for the upcoming academic year, with dozens of students stranded ...

    Well, all the eating clubs started out as co-ops a century go-- before they got big, got bickers, and got people to cook for them.

    I like the idea of a Campus Club co-op. They could take over the kitchen and the room next to it at mealtimes. Only problem is that the same space is used for a lot of events. idk.

    Love this editorial though. Co-ops are the cheapest option (in terms of time + money) and there really needs to be access...

    ahhh! yes! finally, a prince article that actually has some meaning to students. I need co-op! until there is a livelier independent / coop scene, princeton students will think that it is normal to spend ~$8000/ school year on food! IT IS NOT!

    Campus Club would be a great co-op. But where else on campus is there space for more than that one? I feel like the existing kitchens that are large enough are pretty well used already. I think the edits board makes a great point here but the administration would need to do more than just streamline the process... they'd probably need to help out with some infrastructure improvements too.

    Why do Prince commentators like the idea of changing Campus Club into anything and everything aside from what it is? How would a Campus Club co-op either be fair to the non-2 Dickinson co-ops let alone even functional given the way co-ops work at the moment?
