The deadline for reducing the meal plan falls a few days after the first day of class. I was under the impression that a student could upgrade his meal plan at any time during the semester but I cannot find that in print.

It is difficult to judge utilization by the deadline b/c the students are still getting their bearings and figuring out the flow of their days. Perhaps call Dining next month once school has been in session a while and see if I am correct about upgrading at any time.

My son had the ten meals/week plan and never used all ten meals. He made it to breakfast one or two mornings/week, and dinner perhaps five days. Louie’s Lunch truck saw more of his summer earnings than I liked. Cereal in room served as breakfast some mornings. Lunch was almost always a la carte. The only all-you-can-eat dining option on the main academic campus is at The Straight and I have heard the lines are ridiculous during the lunch hours, so some students grab food on the go.
