Bowdoin College One of the Best Dining Halls in America

If you can afford the tuition, you'll eat like royally.

Ah yes, the college days. Days where Ramen becomes your best friend...that is unless you go to a college with killer cafeteria creations! The fine website Thrillist has done some research to find the best of the best dining halls in America.

Number one on the list was right here in Maine! Bowdoin College in Brunswick was praised for its sea food dinners. Bowdoin knows how to kick off college for young minds, they had a lobster bake during their freshman orientation! Other dinners feature fresh seafood including fish, mussels and clams. If you're a lunatic and don't like seafood perhaps the Korean chefs they bring in can cook up something you'll enjoy.

Also on the list is Northwestern University, Muhlenberg College, Roger Williams University, Johns Hopkins University, Tufts University, University of Massachusetts Amherst, Cornell University, Virginia Tech, James Madison University, Washington University in St. Louis, St. Olaf College, Stanford University and Kennesaw State University.

WARNING: if you go one of these schools, you will gain 'the freshman 15.'
