It is that time of the year when students have to decide whether or not they will be living on campus next term. Options range from Lawrence, Thayer, Conestoga, Pioneer and now new apartments, called the "Boulevard Apartments." They are supposed to be bigger, have a full-sized fridge, not be gender specific, and have a self-cleaning stove and oven. The best news though--no meal plan required.
Living in the suites I hardly ever go and use my meal plan, except the flex dollars at Starbucks. I may attend the cafe a maximum of once a week, and I never go to the cafeteria. Spending an insane amount of money on a meal plan is ridiculous, because I never use it.
Don't get too excited though: the new apartments are only for juniors and seniors, the university's attempt to keep students on campus to make it a real "university community."
Unfortunately (or not), I will be living off-campus in Oakland next year, and won't have to pay their ridiculous amount for food and living.
