Final Project

As it might have been easy to figure out through my previous posts, living and eating healthy in college is not so easy.

Recently, Rowan has been trying to broaden their dining options and building up more restaurants on Rowan Blvd.

For my final project I decided to go out and get students opinions on what it is like to eat healthy at Rowan.

What I concluded from these interviews is that considering the little options the university used to have, compared to what is available now has made eating healthy a little bit easier for students.

Rowan re-invented their dining hall by adding “Tapingo” which not only saves students on time, it gives healthier options and even allows students to see the amount of calories in the meal they are about to order.

Freshens is apart of the new dining all giving students smoothie, salad and wrap options. Their meals are all made with 100% clean ingredients. According to a Freshens employee, Rowan’s Freshens is #2 in the nation, just behind Virginia Tech.

Playa Bowls has recently made an appearance on campus as well, which might have been the best thing to happen to a healthy students life.

Besides having healthy meals to offer, Playa also sells, cleansing juices and health shots to keep you feeling your best.

In an Interview with Playa Bowls manger Madison Moores, she says “Rowan needs more than just Playa Bowls and Freshens for healthy options.”

I was lucky enough to get two seniors throughout my interviews who have seen rowans dining selection evolve into what it is today and compare it with how it used to be.

22 year-old Brianna Lecaros says, “Rowan is definitely building up to give students more options.”
