Remember those glorious afternoons? The quad, usually a serene backdrop for intense study or spirited debate, transformed into a vibrant tapestry of international flavors and cultures. It was more than just a meal; it was a sensory explosion, a welcome respite from the relentless academic grind. One moment you were grappling with abstract theories in the library, the next you were queuing for authentic Korean bulgogi, savoring aromatic Indian curries, or delighting in perfectly crisp empanadas, all within steps of your dorm.
These festivals were a testament to our incredibly diverse community, a chance to truly taste the world through the culinary traditions of our peers. They weren't just about feeding our hungry minds and bellies, but about forging connections, sharing stories, and expanding our horizons one delicious bite at a time. The air hummed with laughter, music, and the excited chatter of students and faculty alike, united by a shared love for good food and global exploration.
