Dorm Food Services Flawed '. it'

TUDENTS LIVING IN THE RESIDENCE HALL at the University of Michigan pay an average of around $4400 for eight months' room and board. SApproximately $1800 of this. $4400 goes to cover a student's meal plan. The $1800 provides several options. The standard meal plan allows students to choose to eat any 13 out of the 18 meals available during the week. Another option, known as the "Weekday 9" plan, allows students to eat any nine of the fifteen meals served from Monday through Friday. Those students who choose this plan receive $180 per semester on their Entree Plus accounts. These students, however, lose almost $100 per tenn as a result of each meal being based on a higher price. New this year, the "One-a-Day Plan" allows students to eat one meal per day and receive $300 per semester on Entree Plus. This option will cost students $115 per term. Students also have the option of eating no meals in the residence hall cafeterias by choosing the "Zero Meals" plan. This gives the student $590 on Entree Plus per term, but $310 seemingly disappears each term. These options are nothing but thievery by the University. There ~ 14 weeks in each academic term. Therefore, the student's $900 buys 182 meals at an average cost of $4.95. All those who have eaten in the dorm cafeterias can attest to the fact that the meals are not worth $4.95. One might be able to eat $4.95 worth of dorm food occasionally, but not on a regular basis.
