I think so too. The dining hall is a short walk over there, it's a hard building to miss once you get used to this place.

[There might be one small problem with this idea, that problem being meal tickets, but she doesn't mind sharing some of her own for today.]

You need tickets to be able to get any food from the dining hall, but once you start going to class it shouldn't be too long before you're given some.

[Or you know, steal some from the NPCs. That works too.]
