  When deciding on a meal plan, students should consider their daily routine.  How many meals do you eat a day?  How will your classes, studying, extracurricular activities and social life influence your classes?  Anticipating answers to these and similar questions will help you to choose a plan that fits your lifestyle.  You’ll be asked to select a meal plan when completing the residence hall application.
