More than 8,000 students at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst (Ivy '08), took advantage of Dining Services' Midnight Buffet in May. The longstanding tradition, which keeps all four campus dining-commons areas open until midnight, “is a great way to say thank you to our customers and to reduce stress during exam time,” says Ken Toong, director of dining services. Over the years, gourmet pizza, omelets and a fresh-fruit-and-yogurt bar have been added to the late-night menu, Toong says, but finals-weary students still clamor for comfort foods such as burgers, chicken tenders and chocolate-peanut-butter cheesecake.
