<p>Does This school have a meal plan or student dining Hall? I found nothing on the web-site at all about this. </p>
<p>Also is there gauranteed housing for all students freshman - senior?</p>
<p>There is no meal plan but the school does have a cantina that students can eat at. All of the dorm rooms are apartment style with kitchenettes (and private bathrooms). Between the multitude of supermarkets (some of which take online orders and deliver to the dorms), grocery stores, food courts, sandwich shops, cafes, pizza joints and restaurants in the area, a broad variety of budgets can be accommodated and no one goes hungry. </p>
<p>After freshman year, housing is on a lottery system. Most upper classmen move to off campus housing with the result that most students who need on campus housing have an opportunity to get it.</p>
<p>In the past, one of the concerns voiced by some parents and students was the lack of a meal plan at UArts. Even though all of the dorms are apartments with kitchen facilities and there are numerous supermarkets, grocery stores, cafes, food courts and restaurants in the neighborhood, there have been those who preferred a meal plan arrangement. Well, just as my daughter is graduating, UArts has announced the implementation of full food service and 3 new on campus dining locations. Here is the link to the Dining Services webpage with all sorts of info. See the links to the left of the page. I can tell you that the dining facility in the Terra Building will occupy the space of what is currently a very large italian restaurant with a full commercial kitchen. Of course, this is all happening after my daughter graduates! And for me, it will result in in the loss of my favorite place to grab a glass of chianti at the bar after work on Fridays ;).
