Hi everyone,
My son is starting Rowan in the Fall 2017 semester. He is hoping to land a room at the new dorm, HoPoCo.
With respect to meal plans any thoughts on the All Access vs. Any 14 Meal Plan? Costs per semester are as follows:
All-Access plan w/ $100 Dining Dollars & $100 Rowan Bucks $2,170.00
Any 14 Meal Plan w/ $100 Dining Dollars & $200 Rowan Bucks $2,040.00
It’s a $230 difference if you factor in the loss of $100 in Rowan bucks.
He might be coming home on most weekends- we are not sure yet. We are leaning toward all access to be on the safe side.
Thx,

My son is finishing his junior year at Rowan…and incredibly happy there. I would suggest as a freshman, for the minimal cost difference, go with the All Access plan…he will have one less thing to think about starting out. He can use the Rowan bucks in the bookstore and at off campus locations 
My son is starting in the fall as well! Think everyone is hoping for HoPoCo! LOL We ended up with all access but debated the extra Rowan bucks because he has a bit of a soft spot for Pizza Hut, which I think takes them! He’ll be staying on campus most weekends so I figured it was better safe than sorry -and the boy eats a lot!
Thanks for the valuable feedback @tpcrd66 and @NJWrestlingmom !
We are going with the all access plan.
my dauteur was in HoPoCo as a freshmen. She preferred Evergree. We got the lowest meal plan, we could allways cash to her *she is was a soph due to AP creds
Hi @NJRoadie - any reason why your daughter didn’t care for HoPoCo?
On a related note - for the housing app, Rowan doesn’t ask for any dorm preferences; just whether affordability is a concern. Do they give you choices after they process the app?
We could name the dorm
She felt isolated, she liked the and liked the dorm general roomhttp://talk.collegeconfidential.com/discussion/comment/20639707#
