Budgeting Meal Points

To help students track and budget their meal points, Housing & Residence Life and Dining Services have created a chart listing suggested meal point balances per week throughout the duration of a semester. The following estimates are based on an average meal and beverage cost of $10/meal for a 16-week semester.
