Meal Plans (A, B, & C) - Dormitory Style Residence.

 

To work out the best meal plan for you it is important to consider not only your personal appetite but also the number of days you will be on-campus.

 

Let’s first identify your appetite level.

                               

Light consumption

$15

per day

Medium consumption

$25

per day

Heavy Consumption

$33

per day

*Note: based on 3 meals per day not counting coffees and snacks.             

 

Now how many days do you think you will be on-campus?   Remember to consider if you will be going home on the weekends frequently or anything else that may take you away from campus.

 

Got that number?  Great!

 

Now using the below table take your appetite type and the numbers of days that you will be on-campus and locate your ideal meal plan.

Save your money and get full value for every dollar you spend on food on campus.  With a Value Plan you save the 13% in taxes on food purchases on campus.

 

The Semester Value Plan is a commitment of $960 for the semester and you will save approximately $120 in taxes.  That means you have more money for you to spend on food.
