Which students need to have a meal plan?

• A. Freshmen in residence halls
• B. Sophomores in on-campus apartments
• C. All students
• D. Only athletes

Answer: (A)

Freshmen living in residence halls typically need a meal plan because on-campus housing contracts are usually paired with dining services, ensuring students have access to meals within the dorms. This arrangement makes a meal plan a standard requirement for those living in dorms, since the campus dining system is built around that population.

Sophomores in on-campus apartments often have kitchens and can cook or choose from nearby dining options, so a meal plan is not usually mandatory. Saying all students or only athletes would be too broad or too specific to particular programs, respectively, and doesn’t reflect common dorm-dining policies.
