the noun for "university students' public dining room"

cafeteria

At my college (U.S.) it was the dining hall.

Hi,

In other words, the name depends on such factors as how the food is served, and how formal and elegant the surroundings are.

Best wishes, Clive

Oh, I assure you, there was nothing elegant about it! The dorms were all called "Halls" too. I guess they just thought "Dining Hall" sounded better than "Eating Hall."

Thank you, teachers.

Yes, maybe the “dining hall” is the right word. The “cafeteria” is more elegant and the food served should be much more delicious.

The food is served here this way: students order their food paying in campus cards at the counters and bring the food trays to the tables themselves. The taste of the food is so so, not delicious but not very bad either. After eat

Yeah, a ?? is called a "dining hall" in English.

My Oxford dictionary offers two translations for ?? :

?? shítáng n.
= dining hall, cafetaria

It seems that an Oxford Chinese-English Dictionary is also a must, though I've already got several dictionaries.

I am a university student and I say canteen...
