Gotta have our priorities

Welcome to TAMIU, officially the last place on all of Planet Earth to get a Starbucks.

Heh… we don’t have a full service Starbies on campus…just a window in a closet that offers some Starbucks options (and closes at 4:30). There is one at the B&N bookstore across the Interstate from campus, and while that is “kind of” campus, no students live on that side of the Interstate in student housing and I don’t think it really counts (if you have to walk more than 10 minutes from the nearest student housing). Oh, and it only opened in 2006, I think.

No Starbucks here, but we do have her knock-off sister “Java City.”

Yeah, we’ve also got “Java City” (which I think is one of Aramark’s fake brands, along with “Bene Pizzeria” and a few others) here at the student center.

I assume this is a real Starbucks and not just a “We Aren’t Starbucks But Proudly Serve Starbucks Coffee” outlet (which I think the B&N outlets are).

Do NOT insult the Aramark! The Aramark can hear you and know when you don’t eat bland overpriced institutional food….and will punish you.
