Do the USC dining halls provide students with adequate nutrition during their time living on campus? There are salad bars, vegetarian/vegan options, poultry items, and dairy products--all items needed for a balanced diet.

I would find this claim true. The university website states they offer EatWell meals designed to meet nutritional guidelines set by USC's registered dietitian, Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2020-2025, The Culinary Institute of America’s Menus of Change, and guidelines from other universities. The university recently opened a new dining hall focusing on wellness, accommodating diversified diets, and its first vegan food station. Additionally, they offer a Dietary guide for students to look into the nutrition of the dining halls' food.
