Brower Commons, a dining hall at Rutgers University, was a fixture of my freshman year, and then it was gone--but students kept talking about it, complaining about its absence just as they had previously complained about its food. This toxic, confusing relationship fascinated me, and I had to learn more, dig deeper, and uncover the truth. What resulted was a journey that took me through countless student interviews, frustrating university bureaucracy, and hidden Rutgers history.
