What’s the difference in the Residential Colleges meal plan?

The Residential Colleges meal plan will require a certain number of meals be taken together in the college’s private dining hall. Expect the plan to require the purchase of a number of meals per week in the dining hall; beyond that, the options for the meal plan mirror the other plans available to housing residents, such as the use of meal points on campus. One meal a week will be a “mandatory” college meal, where residents and faculty dine together, followed by the transaction of college business by the College Councils.
