The highest meal plan on campus is the L plan: $2,716. If you take this number and divide it by the number of weeks in a semester (15), you get $181 to spend a week, or $25 a day. A burger with fries and a smoothie at the lair is $20 combined with tax. If I want to start my day with a burger and smoothie, I've already basically maxed out my daily budget. Not to mention is your meal plan is the lowest, $1,916 a semester, your daily budget will be under $20, and a burger + smoothie will be too much for one day- unless you want to add money later, of course.

For a university that charges $70,000 a year and $280,000 overall without aid, I believe that is absolutely- for lack of a better term- absolutely ridiculous. Sign this petition to not only lower the prices of individual meals, but to not go over your meal plan by week 8 out of 15 and have to add $300 a week for something that should really just last a semester as promised.
