Fair enough. </p>
<p>Example: Triple Classic Residence Hall
19 Regular Total Cost: 11,152.00
11 Cub Total Cost: 10,802.00
Total cost difference: $350.00</p>
<p>Additional Meals provided: 8 meals / week * 11 weeks / quarter * 3 quarters = 264 meals
Cost per additional meal: ~$1.35

<p>Perhaps the initial meal cost that was used to calculate the 11 Cub total cost is the same as the off campus meal plan, but it is really a moot point because you cannot live on campus without the meal plan.</p>
