Forced to live on campus
#22362655 - 10/11/15 10:43 AM (8 years, 3 months ago) |

the college i am transferring into next semester has a policy that you have to live on campus unless you meet a bunch of requirements that no normal student out of highschool would meet, like military, married etc.
The only requirement I have going for me is that I have above a 3.0 gpa but that was not one of the highly noted ones allowing for one to live off of campus.
I also eat a vegan diet and looked at their food options and they pretty much have nothing except for a veggie wrap which is rediculous. I figured I might be able to argue this point.
living in the dorms will easily cost twice as much and will all around be shittier, they also force you buy a food plan which is like 125 a week of which almost none of the foods I can eat.
anyone have any experience with a situation like this? help much appreciated

I think a lot of colleges require freshman to live on campus. I have never heard of them forcing someone to purchase their meal plan though. That is a bunch of bullshit and I wouldn't pay it

thats weird they are making you do that. If you don't live to far you could just commute there. thats what I do. Also look on craigslist for apartments maybe.

while i agree the live-on campus policy blows, cant you cook for yourself? as a vegan you should really learn how to cook, because not everyone is going to cater specifically to your 'needs'

How's he gonna cook in a dorm with nothing but a microwave?
Making you live in dorms and buy a 500/mo food plan is ridiculous. I spent 125 a month on food and eat better than the dorm cafeteria.

Just say 'no' to living on campus. That's it, just NO.
Your excuse would be 'medical', in which case they can't even ask about it. "I have medical reasons" is all you have to tell them. If they ask for more detail, remind them that, as a state agency, it's against the law to pry into your personal medical history.

Find a school that doesn't have that requirement & then transfer to that one instead. I would never live on campus.

I'm just saying...his diet consists of mainly shoes. If he makes this known, he'll probably get out of the meal plan bit.
And I'm sure they can arrange to send him to some special care home with more of his kind.
