According to Ann Chiaramonte of Harvard Food Services, the high price reflects the costs of operating the twelve upper-class residential dining halls and one main cafeteria for all freshmen. It's annoying that you can't decide how often you want to eat. For example, tonight was Mardi Gras' night and I dined on shrimp, jambalaya, and other creole delicacies. Columbia student Bethe Gordon said that she thinks the meal plan lacks variety. The meal plan has too many meals and too few points.
Stuff is fresh.
Clark added that plans are underway to renovate the dining facilities and improve student satisfaction. Princeton requires freshmen and sophomores to purchase the 20 or 14-meal plan. Since we have renovated all of the 6 college dining halls, student surveys and focus groups have provided us with positive feedback regarding our program. Freshman Alexandra Tebay didn't have rave reviews for the Penn offerings. It all tastes the same after a while.
