  This includes schools of all levels. elementary, middle, high and colleges/universities.
  Assuming the college or university provides a dining hall
  
  The cat's interested in this after seeing some blog posts on school lunches in Japan and Korea

  Rice, a protein (usually chicken or fish), pickles, vegetables and soup.
  
  The cat's master described her lunches in public school and private school (in the US)
  
  Public elementary school lunch
  -Heated prepackaged entree, like mini cheeseburgers, a milk carton, and a vegetable or fruit. On special occasions like December, there will be cookies.
  
  private Middle school
  You would buy food as if at a fast food restaurant. Each item has individual prices
  
  Entrees (comes with a side order of fries)
  -Large pizza slices (the pizzas were 10 inch in diameter)
  -hamburgers with optional toppings
  -Deli sandwich
  -Chicken sandwich
  
  Drinks are commercial products such as sodas and water bottles
  
  public High school
  Lunch is similar to elementary's school in terms of prepackaged food, but there's more options like boxed Chinese fast food and salad. No cookies though
  
  University
  Dining hall with various themes for food, but always has burgers, pizza, fries, salads and ice cream.

  Cheap but ridiculously expensive food that keeps increasing in price every year (and it doesn't even taste that good). I just go off campus now to 7-Eleven for lunch for nachos or chicken.

  My school's lunch is good. The money that we pay comes from the tuition, so we just grab whatever and we're good. It has a hot (or cold) lunch every day and the deli line and two kinds of soup. Oh, and vegetables and all of that jazz on the side.

  I got food poisoning from my high school lunches everytime I ate one.
  So yeah they're garbage. The only people who could seem to keep them down were my friends, but they had guts of steel sooo...
  
  College food isn't bad though, we have a little food court on campus with places like subway and then some local chain restaurants. The best place so far is the fried chicken joint though omg

  The dining hall here is just your regular cafeteria/restaurant fare. In high school we had a great chef (small private school)

  Fixed. But yea. Sad moment when 7-eleven crap is better than your school lunch. ... I don't even bother eating some days since it isn't even worth it, nor does it even taste remotely good lol.

  really overpriced not-that-great food that they don't prepare enough of and let get cold by halfway through lunch, when the line actually becomes an acceptable length.
  
  everyone takes the chicken and fries and leave the vegetarian pizza and dry crumbly rice that they fry with the costco frozen pea/carrot/corn mix.
  
  and it's like, super expensive compared to other high schools, just because it's in the, let's say, better off side of town.

  I wouldn't call it totally healthy, but its definitely not trash. Sandwiches, deli, chicken of some sorts, nachos, etc. I'm not a picky eater at all. Anything made edible is food to me. [S]Except celery. I hate celery.[/S]
  Now, what's the real problem with the lunch?
  Its TOO DAMN SMALL. I could seriously eat 3 of them and not be full. And there's no damn way I'm coughing up $10 for a good lunch. I usually don't eat until I get home or bring something once in a while.

  High School used to sell pizza and fries, sandwiches, soup.... Some other random vegetable crap.
  
  Uni/col I usually just eat at subway or bring a cereal bar.. lol. I really don't eat much so I don't really bother. o3o But there are a lot of options here, I guess I just like to eat junk food or cereal bars myself.

  I never ate school food, but from what I saw it was junk/fast food trying to be healthy... like whole grain pizza with crappy cheese that's lower fat... burgers made from something that isn't meat D:
  
  The line up at the cafeteria area of my highschool was never very long...

  When I was in Highschool, I was too busy playing basketball with friends. I just ate at home after school.
