Lunch time at Dauphine

Here's what lunch break looks like at the student cafeteria here---it's crazy crowded!

Basically, the entire university has a break from 12:00 to 1:45 and almost everyone descends to the student restaurant area for lunch. There isn't much outside of the school as an alternative but there are several options in the student restaurant. We get sandwiches, salads, etc for much cheaper than at a restaurant but then there is the line.

Here is a different line. There are a lot of them here. Wonder what this one is for?
Cool, you can buy a ticket at this location for a meal at yet another location and if you buy the ticket you pay less. You can buy 1-4 tickets for lunch with a valid student id card.
So, of course there is a long line for this because the reduced cost ticket saves you about a buck or two.

Predictably, however, the kiosk is only open between 11:20 and 2:15 daily. And, as mentioned above, you can only buy four tickets at a time. That's good thinking!

< But you know what, none of this matters because I make my own lunch. All I need is a microwave.


Holy crap! Look at all these people waiting for the microwave. WTF?


As it turns out, this is the only microwave in the whole place. Oh well, cold pasta is ok, isn't it?
