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.
