<p>FWIW, most FSILG’s run a 18-meal plan. Many of them hire cooks and give them one day a week off (usually Sundays). At most FSILG’s the kitchens are tidied daily and scrubbed weekly. Again, there is huge variety in the kitchens and meal plans in the FSILG system. Dorms and ILG’s are tourable with advance planning. None of them are on the main tours, but again there is Dorm rush and FSILG rush separately freshman year, so you can find a space where you are happy and where the meal plan works for you.</p>
