There was a silent auction going on before the bidding started, and some of the prizes included packages from RVA Trolley and P.F. READ MORE

	Tasty Food Carts on Campus By Sarah Pentecost April 1, 2013 - 3:42pm Having a dining plan is nice. Although we pay for dining plans, we aren’t forking up money for our meals on the spot so it almost seems like free food. This makes it easy for us to eat, but it’s not always easy to decide where to eat. Now, we have to admit that VCU has done a good job of providing us options – all-you-can-eat at Shafer, the addicting chicken strips at Raising Cane’s, and made-to-order sandwiches at Cary St. Deli are only to name a few. However, these options can get old, and they get old fast.
