Okay. Now let’s head over to meet Souhail. He’s a senior studying advertising with a minor in entrepreneurship. Souhail is also a major foodie. Who’s better to show us all the sweet snacks and meals that UO has to offer. Take it away, Souhail.

– What’s good everybody. I came to the University of Oregon because I was impressed with a wide variety of the programs that were available here and not at any other schools. I’m talking to the location, the culture and in the environment were all motivating factors for why I decided to come to the U of O. But aside from that, the food here is incredible. At the EMU, there’s an abundance of dining options, pizza or , a comforting bowl of soup and grilled cheese, or maybe you’re looking for something gluten-free and vegan. Maybe you just want some coffee and a place to study. No problem. Our 14 dining locations offer you a place to kick back, meetup, hide out and fuel up with locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. You can practice your own culinary skills at one of our community kitchens or come to Unthank Hall, which is also home to our student welcome center. The campus has all kinds of foods that are stadiums, nothing better than some crispy fries at a basketball game. Or you can link up after a football game at our hotspots on campus. These spots are meant to bring people together and celebrate the fun parts of college over food. Oregon has taught me about the power of community and day by day, I’m learning to cherish it that much more. In a world that continues to go more and more online, I hope to continue to forge real life relationships and make meaningful memories that last. All right, Alex, back to you.

– That was awesome, Souhail. The food scene at the UO is incredible. And it’s great to hear the dining halls use locally sourced ingredients. Amazing. I’m looking forward to grabbing something to eat and kicking it on campus as soon as I finish up here. Thanks again.
