Residences with mandatory meal plans

Two types of meal plans
Declining balance
All-you-care-to-eat
Starts with a fixed balance that declines as you get more meals. Your balance will decline depending on the number and/or type of meals.
These plans provide entry to a participating dining hall to enjoy all-you-care-to-eat dining – eat what you want and the quantity you wish to eat during each visit.
Top up your balance during your stay depending on how much you need.
