I don’t know how much dining hall food costs or if it’s prepaid but you are talking about eating out for every meal on a students budget.
The point about bringing up the dining hall is they can’t go to the grocery store because they have no way to cook (and maybe even store) the food they bought.
- perennate 7y agoHa, the prices are at [1], the cheapest is around $13 per meal. Eating out can be much cheaper, and there are healthy options. [1] https://studentlife.mit.edu/dining/residential-dining/meal-plans https://studentlife.mit.edu/dining/residential-dining/meal-p...
- kelnos 7y agoMeal plans are typically pre-paid at the beginning of the semester. So that money is already gone, and I would expect that eating out for every meal -- even at below $13/meal -- would be out of reach for a lot of students.
- CydeWeys 7y agoI'm expecting to see MIT refund some portion of the semester's food cost now that the dining halls will be shut down.
