Hey there! I've been looking at Ohio State University as a potential option. I was wondering if anyone had some insight on their meal plan options? Like, what different plans are available and if there are any plans suited for vegetarian or vegan students?
Sure, I can help you understand Ohio State University's meal plan options. The University offers various meal plans to suit every student's need. All plans come with BuckID Cash that can be used at multiple on and off-campus locations.
Firstly, let's look at the types of meal plans available:
1. Unlimited: The Unlimited plan seems to be the most popular for freshmen. This allows you unlimited access to the campus dining halls.
2. Scarlet 14: Offers 14 'Traditions' meals per week, plus it includes $500 Dining Dollars for use at on-campus dining locations.
3. Gray 10: Offers10 'Traditions' meals per week, with an addition of $600 Dining Dollars.
'Traditions' meals are those at the three all-you-care-to-eat facilities on campus where each visit counts as one meal.
If you're a vegetarian or vegan, you've got options. The university offers a variety of plant-based meals in their dining halls, including salads, fruits, vegetables, beans, grains, nuts, and seeds. They even label such foods with special designations to help students identify these meals easily.
Also, in addition to on-campus options, you can use your BuckID Cash to purchase meals off-campus at any location that accepts BuckID as a form of payment, so that will give you more flexibility too!Keep in mind that the best plan for you will depend on your usual eating habits and schedule. So, consider these factors before making a decision. I hope this helps!
