Whoops. I left out Middlebury for some reason. It slots in between Hamilton and Bates.

Speaking of Middlebury, one of the things I really liked about it is they have unlimited meals for everyone. No swipes, no quota. You can eat as often as you want, as much as you want. If you’re a granger and want to get in 5 smaller meals, as long as you do it within the hours they serve food that’s cool. You can eat lunch at one place then head over to the other if it has your preferred dessert. Etc. They don’t even bother with cards – you just walk in and pick out your food. I didn’t come across any other schools that did that on our touring though perhaps some do. And like Bowdoin they source a lot of local food.
To the point above about 21 meal plans, just to clarify a lot of schools (including Bowdoin) are doing 19 meal plans with weekends being 2 per day (brunch and dinner). At these schools there is no 21 meal plan – they only are open for two meals a day Sat and Sun.
