Abstract:
Meal plans at Bridgewater State College are divided into two different payment methods: dining dollars and meals. The East Campus Commons (ECC) and Flynn Dining Commons (FDC) accept both meals and dining dollars. At the Crimson Cafeteria (CC) and former Commuter Cafeteria (FCC), only dining dollars are able to be used....

Who provides the food in CC and FCC? Third-party contractors such as Dunkin' Donuts. Sodexho employees staff these stations, but the food and materials come from the third-party contractors. This adds a premium to the cost of the food.
You pay 7 dining dollars for a meal in FDC or ECC. The equivalent meal in CC and FCC would cost you probably $10 or more. And if you go back for seconds or thirds or have a few glasses of soda or milk with your meal, the equivalent meal in FDC or ECC becomes $30 or more!
The real solution is to simply convert the entire college over to an all-dining-dollars meal plan system. Then you can truly eat anywhere you'd like.
