<p>I didn’t have to purchase any DineX account at all. I was fully refunded (in fact they asked me, “would you like to keep any of your DineX, and if so, how much?”). I think it’s pretty variable depending on the case in question - for example, there are a few Kosher stops on campus, so someone who is following a Kosher diet might not get a full refund - ditto vegan. But gluten diets are pretty hard to work around.</p>
<p>It is difficult to get a Mudge quad unless your son got in ED - if he did, have him pref Mudge quads at the top. I lived in one freshman year and highly recommend the experience. They’re really nice, well cleaned, extremely sunny, and there are two kitchens in Mudge.</p>
