Meal Plans at CWRU

Required Meal Plans

The requirement that first year students or students living in residential housing are to purchase one of the offered meal plans is one aspect of the large expense. CWRU may make this a requirement so that it ensures the parents of the students that their child has food readily available to them. When a student is living away from home and in residential housing, they are exposed to the independent lifestyle regardless and will adapt to make the best decisions for themselves. CWRU should not feel that because students are in their first year or are living in a dorm they should need a meal plan forced upon them. Again, the price of the housing for the parents or students already paying for the dorm will be driven up even more because of this requirement. Another point is that many students never use all meal swipes in fact. This is another aspect that leads to the ultimate problem which will be covered next.
