On campus there are like,
3:03

I can at least say, there areÊat least four outlets in which you can get, I mean at least I can get, proper Indian food. A reasonÊwhy I chose University of Guelph was its food.
3:11

Definitely it's worth it. One of myÊfavourites was the Mongolian kitchen, specifically in Prairie. In first year my friendsÊand I used to go there at least once a week.

You do have toÊunderstand that you have to sacrifice some of your taste that you cannot find here becauseÊ that's the life we choose but at the same point

you don't have to give up everythingÊbecause you find enough alternatives here
