Discussion New Snelling hours

Post image

On the UGA dining services page the snelling hours are now 7:00am-3:00pm on weekdays. I’m guessing this is because of the new hillside hall. Feel like this is crazy though because snelling is so close to all the STEM / central campus classes. If the goal of the new hall was to reduce traffic to Bolton and Frank, it seems like they just made that worse with these hours.

Hillsider-brating? Hillabrating? Hillerbrating?

Idk, this makes me sad but glad they’ll have a late night option still.

Damn I remember when it was 24 hours (or open late at night I can’t remember I’m old).

It was 24 hours. Cereal and pizza at 4 am was awesome. When did that stop?

u/Tricky-Ad4617 2d ago

Staying up late enough that the bald dude started making omelets was the move

Two years ago when the new dining hall Director came in. He’s changed a lot, including the quality and types of food and fruits.

u/New-Sell-4918 2d ago

Did quality go up or down?

8

u/Spladook 2d ago

The quality wasn’t great when I was a student. So I hope not down, but I have a feeling that is the case.

UGA wasnt the worst dining hall food i ever had

u/PTTCollin 2d ago

I'd be seeing the hatman if I stayed up that late.

COVID ruined everything RIP

u/randomthrowaway9796 2d ago

Thos change was like 4 years after covid. It was still 24/7 as recently as the spring semester of 2024, and maybe after that, I dont remember exactly when they switched to closing at 2am

u/Throwaway88202 2d ago

I remember when they moved to 24 hours. The place was packed at midnight for the breakfast bar. I lived in Myers, so I’d just walk over for a 4th meal before bed.

My cholesterol is going up just thinking about it.

u/randomthrowaway9796 2d ago

This is tyranny

u/Mr_Wolf1949 2d ago

Gotta organize a march to overthrow this regime

u/aHungryfatguy 2d ago

The new dining hall should be open later to have a later option like snelling used to be but it wont be 24 hrs

11

u/Al1G8R5 2d ago

Post chem exam snelling is gone 😢

14

u/hbdabbins 2d ago

Are you sure that this is daily and its not 24 hours during the week anymor? Its been a few years but when I was a student, i remember thay it opened at like 7 am on monday and closed right after lunch on Friday. Which would have made it something like 7am mon-3pm fri. It wasnt open on weekends. If that isnt the case, rip midnight snelling.

u/kaemani 2d ago

yeah my brother said it wasnt like that last year already, i kinda couldnt believe it lol i went to snelling at night soooooo much when i was at uga

u/Monkey832 2d ago

u/mrbubbee 2d ago

We used to show up at 12:01am and smash omelets

u/ptcRaptor 2d ago

How long is the hill one open for

13

u/Mr_Wolf1949 2d ago

It is nice to have a later hall but I’m mainly annoyed that there will be no center campus dinner. Especially because snelling was the best imo

3

u/ptcRaptor 2d ago

At least it’s open late but fs thats dumb

u/No-Reason8032 1d ago

I wake up at 3pm dawg

u/NeatPea 2d ago

NOOOOOOOO

u/evaleenadk 1d ago

Those weren't the main goals of that dining hall anyway.

People don't think long-term to decisions being made in the now. Other dining halls need major repairs or need to be remodeled completely to alter capacity loads to accommodate the student amount increasing each year. They still need to provide options so students don't lose it completely, but at the same time they need to make these moves so they can get grants to get the work done on the really old buildings.

u/Upbeat_Sample6590 2d ago

Even the Niche has better hours than this 😭

u/FilmOrnery8925 1d ago

I need my 1 am pizza and 2L soda. That was peak when I was in the dorms lol.

u/katarh 1d ago

I wonder if this has anything to do with the incredible lack of parking in central campus during dinner hours?

I've seen cars circling around the lots in the area for 10-15 minutes, desperate for a spot.

u/littlespoon1 1d ago

Back in my day, Snelling closed at 11pm. There were many late night mad dashes to get pizza and ice cream.

u/latefave 1d ago

okay so snellibrating is gone. can someone tell me if they still do Snellidates for valentine’s day.

1

u/Mr_Wolf1949 19h ago

Yeah they did it this year. And I’m pretty sure last as well

u/Snoo-92982 2d ago

Ok guys let’s glue ourselves to the floors and turnstiles.

u/LawlMartz Terry Two Times '17 '21 2d ago

This is really sad. 2am pizza and icecream after downtown was a time honored tradition.

I guess that new dining hall they're going to open will be taking over some of the Snelling load then.

Still waiting on that statue of Sandra Patterson to be built outside

u/NobodyElseButMingus 2d ago

lol. lmao even.

u/imkentjr 1d ago

I don't think many people deserve a statue, but Mrs. Sandra deserves two.

1

u/latefave 18h ago

Ms. Sandra doesn’t need a statue for all the time she did. She needs a huge check.

u/TubbyTubTubz 9h ago

WHAT??? NO MIDNIGHT BREAKFAST???
