2008-2009 Meal Plans
The Meal Plans are mandatory for students living in the residence hall suites and voluntary for those living in apartments. The plans are declining balance plans which allow for more variety and are more student friendly than the traditional plans. Although the plan is more student friendly, it does require some decisions on the student’s part. The expenses for providing a Meal Plan are taken up front and the balance of the money provided by the student will be used to purchase anything in the cafeteria at COST. Below are some suggestions to help decide what would be best for each student. Variables to consider would be how many times the student will be eating in the cafeteria each week; how big of an eater each student is and how much money the student wishes to spend on food. If the student finds they will be short on funds before the term ends, additional funds can be added to the Meal Plan at any time.
