Notice: Starting next semester, the university will implement a new policy requiring all students to purchase a meal plan, regardless of whether they live on campus. The plan offers a set number of meals per week at the main dining hall. University officials state this will increase revenue for dining services and encourage healthier eating habits among commuter students.

M: Did you see the announcement about mandatory meal plans? I can't believe they're making everyone buy one, even commuters like us.
W: I know, right? I think it's a terrible idea. First, I rarely eat on campus because I live just five minutes away and prefer my own cooking. This would be a huge waste of money—I'd be paying for meals I never use. Second, the plan only covers the main dining hall, but I have a tight schedule with classes and work, so I often grab a quick bite at the campus café. That's not included, so I'd still have to spend extra. It just doesn't make sense for students like me.
