Most dormitories at U.S. colleges and universities are equipped with
cooking facilities. However, for those who do not have the time or
facilities to cook for themselves, there is the option of cafeteria
dining. Most dormitories have a cafeteria within the building or
nearby that offers low-cost food to students. Often students can
sign up for one of a variety of meal plans by which they can pay
ahead for the food they will consume. Depending on your tastes and
financial situation, you might find these meal plans convenient,
cheap, and easily accessible. Some universities require that all
students living in a dormitory sign up for a meal plan. Cafeterias
are open during scheduled hours and usually offer a variety of
foods, including vegetarian selections for those who do not eat
meat. Meal plans are sometimes available to students living
off-campus as well, which is a great convenience for students who
may eat as many as two meals a day on-campus. If you plan to live in
an apartment and do not wish to cook or if you enjoy the social
aspect of eating in the cafeteria, consider trying out your school's
meal plan. Cafeterias are generally closed during holidays and
vacation periods. |
