Thisincludes the volume of food purchased per meal, thefrequency with which meals are missed and how oftenhe/she takes advantage of dining for dinner.Plan A - $3600We’ve found that this plan is ideal for students whofrequently enjoy eating in the Cornish Café. If you arealways on campus, have very high caloric needs, orfrequently take advantage of premium specials, this isthe plan for you. It is designed for students who seldomeat off campus. The spending rate assumes a morefrequent eater who will often take advantage of thedinner dining hours. The A plan reflects $1800 persemester.Plan B - $3000This plan is right for you if you dine less frequently or areaway on weekends. It is also a good choice if you arelooking for a lighter plan and have a spending rate thatis fairly average and will now and again take advantageof the dinner dining hours. The B plan reflects $1500per semester.Plan C - $2400This plan is especially effect for those that live in CornishCollege resident halls and attend classes at Kerry Hallfrequently taking advantage of breakfast and dinner diningbut lunch off campus near the Kerry Hall community.
