Give Me Meal Plan Options or Give Me Death

Give Me Meal Plan Options or Give Me Death
Hey, Tufts sophomores, important news about your meal plan options: you don’t have any. It’s bad enough that all freshmen are forced to pay for the premium meal plan—but even sophomores hardly have anything to decide between.

Prove it, you say? Alright, let’s assume you want to save your parents some money while still being able to eat two meals a day at the dining hall for three months. In that case, the only option other than the unlimited plan ($2,470) is the 220-meal plan. How much do you save by choosing that option? Forty friggin’ dollars.

And if you want to go as cheap as you possibly can as a sophomore and get only 160 meals a semester (with extra dining dollars, granted), you’ll save a whopping $120. That’s .00256 percent of what we spend on Tufts each year. What a deal.

Just three options, and they’re all more or less the same price: well over two grand. Is Yolanda King running Dining Services or something?

I recommend the 160 meals /525 dining dollars plan. It's the best of the three, but that's kind of like choosing gonorrhea over AIDS or herpes, you know? Posted 08/23/2007 08:03 AMReply

The Unlimited Meal Plan is a glass ceiling. Posted 08/23/2007 12:14 PMReply

What's really ridiculous about sophomore meal plans is that you pay 10.69$ or 10.70$ respectively for every one of your meals as a sophomore, but if you were to buy lunch on points, it would only cost 9.43$.
Oh, and at Hodgdon (which is already overpriced) you only get a 9.10$ return on your dinner even though you actually paid 10.60$ for it...

It just seems very very wrong.
