However, having to deal with the inconveniences is a natural part of being an adult. It can also be viewed as an incentive to stay at EMU for an extra year. Everything is not going to be convenient to everyone. I have the Towers Flex plan and I find it far from convenient. At least you are guaranteed the amount of meals you pay for.
Seniority brings privilege.
I have the privilege of living in a single room because I have been here longer. I have the privilege of having the Flex meal plan because I have earned it. If you stay here long enough, you will earn that privilege, too.
