Meal plan

The Meal Plan is a clever way of converting real dollars into "Dining Dollars;" a form of currency which students never hesitate to spend as it is not "real money." This attitude towards dining dollars also makes the reaming students receive at the C-Store more bearable.

Getting off board

If you do not wish to pay for a meal plan, you better have cancer. Getting off board is ridiculously difficult, even if you have a doctor's note.

Lying

Be prepared to lie. It is the only way to escape paying piles of money for food that will kill you and is never open when you are hungry. And do not feel bad about it. If the school wants to create a system where they try to force you to pay them tons of money for food you do not want, and you can only get out of this system is by lying, then it is morally acceptable to lie. The school should not create a more honest option, such as, "I don't want your food."
