It's not free, you are required to pay for a meal plan when you are on campus dormitory housing.
- OJFord 5y agoWow. That's surprisingly different to the UK - I've never heard of anywhere having no kitchen available. (Other options are of course available, but certainly not required.) In fact I'd guess it's probably a requirement here - I don't think student halls are treated any differently to any private rented accommodation, it's probably a requirement that there be access to a (possibly shared) kitchen. It's also quite (and increasingly) common that you're only in halls (or at least only guaranteed a place) in first year, thereafter in private rented accommodation of course you'd expect a kitchen; whereas I gather in the US the vast majority are campus universities, and provide on-campus accomodation throughout all years.
- vageli 5y agoAt least in my experience, there is a kitchen area per floor with stove and oven, though nothing more than microwave and hot plate (and mini fridge) in the actual dorm rooms themselves.
