RCAs are on partial eating club plans if they so choose. They are required to eat 10 meals a week in the residential college dining hall.

When the new system is implemented, students will have a choice of living in a four-year college or a two-year one. The two- and four-year colleges will be affiliated. So at Princeton students will have a choice of living in a system like Yale’s or of just being in the residential college for two years. Surprisingly, many students who are initially attracted to the residential college system and do enjoy all of its programming (discount Broadway show tickets, talks by famous people, parties and study breaks) discover that they are eager to be able to live with friends from other colleges in the last two years. The system has its pros and cons, which makes its flexibility at Princeton a real plus.
