The Humber College north campus may have a problem on their hands. With a lack of food vendors open on campus in the evening many students are left with few options. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With The Food Emporium, The Hawks Nest and GH Caf\u00e9 closing at 7pm, students are left to choose between Tim Hortons and Linx Lounge. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Harmon Slack, a third-year justice studies student at Guelph Humber<\/span>,<\/span> says that looking for food on campus late at night can mean a long wait, more so at Tim Horton\u2019s. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEspecially when it\u2019s the only thing open and people are going for coffees and everything the line gets really long.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Slack says that as the night goes on it only gets worse, and it has an effect on his ability to study. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been at the school, passed like nine or ten pm and even at that point there is nothing open and if I want to get any food I have to go off campus and it takes an extended period of time.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Slack would like to see the school accommodate its students better. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt would definitely be nice to see some spots opened up later.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Currently Tim Hortons stays open until 9 pm throughout the week and closes earlier on weekends. \u00a0While Lynx lounge, which features Smoke’s Poutinerie, has fluctuating hours depending on the day. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rhemie Aquino<\/span>,<\/span> a third-year media studies student<\/span>, <\/span>says that the lack of food options has also had an effect on his class time. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFirst year<\/span> we had pretty late classes and as a young guy I get pretty hungry, and as I was walking around campus<\/span> and the GH Caf\u00e9 closes around that time and there is not much else that you can do.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Aquino also thinks that the school needs to have more options later at night. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s better for us at the end of the day, it is better for our learning. I mean when you are hungry how are you supposed to sit through a three-hour lecture?\u201d. <\/span><\/p>\n

Jordan Kelly, a third-year Guelph Humber business student<\/span>,<\/span> says he can understand where the school is coming from. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day the college is a business and its purpose is to make money.\u201d,said Kelly. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBased on the number of students that have night classes,<\/span> having food options open later is most likely not cost effective based on the money that would be spent versus the money being paid for wages to workers.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Aquino says that even installing healthier options in vending machines would be better and solve the problem of worker wages. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u201cI think actually, they should invest in some sort of vending machine that actually offers sandwiches, some sort of actual food, beside chips and chocolates.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kelly thinks that it is important for students to eat before coming to school. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGiven that night classes typically start around 6pm it is possible the school feels that most students will have eaten before coming to school at that time.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

According to the school\u2019s website, vendor hours are subject to change. Although they have remained the same for the last few years. <\/span><\/p>\n
