<p>Really? I thought the meal plan was the ONLY reasonable part of the package. I’d say about $5 per meal on average (say $3 for the food and $2 for other costs). Between cash and meal swipes, that’s probably $100 a week (if all 19 standard meals are used). That’s $3600 per year, and that’s barely including the cost of labor, variety, etc. I mean heck, at HOME, we’re cheap eaters and it’s usually about $3-$5 per meal, per person. Now room and board (minus the meal plan), tuition, fees… that stuff I have problems with! Especially old dorms. Does it really cost $6000 to house a student in an old dorm?</p>
