This map marks the location of Euclid Avenue. This is the largest street that cuts East and West through campus. This street is located in the middle of campus and divides CWRU into North and South sections. You can use this map and the image of CWRU's campus to see this.A full time student attends 14-17 credit hours at CWRU (see 1/3 down page). This is about 3-5 classes of workload for each student and on average most student are full time at CWRU. Along with clubs, sports, and other types of participation on campus, the CWRU student is usually busy throughout the whole week. Many times, students may only have time to eat 2 meals per day, or normally choose to eat 2 meals per day based on personal preference. Many students at CWRU do not always enjoy eating at the dining halls 2-3 times a day as well. The meal plan provides only 3-5 portable meal swipes only. Dining options on campus have increased in the past years and this has provided students with many other choices to dine. Students can easily get food at a location that only accepts normal currency or Case Cash. The amount of Case Cash received is adjusted when comparing it to which meal plan it is associated with. Students often find that the price they are paying for a meal at one of the variety of locations on campus will be cheaper than the price per meal swipe. These points together are the cause cause for many meal swipes to go to waste by the reset of the week and the quick use of Case Cash. This may accumulate and by the end of the semester, students may have wasted hundred of dollars. For example, 1 meal plan wasted per week at 19 meals/week for a first year student will accumulate $163.52 gone towards nothing.
