Is there anyway I can avoid the meal plan at University of Virginia?
I’m not interested in, and have no intention of paying for, the meal plan for any of the four undergraduate years at University of Virginia. Is there anyway that I can avoid it for all four years?
It looks to me as if you can avoid it after your first year. During your first year, though, it appears to be required. Which means that unless you can provide medical or possibly religious documentation to the effect that your dietary needs cannot possibly be met by the dining services people — and that’s going to be hard, because I’ve heard of some pretty complicated medical needs being managed by dining services on university campuses — you’re stuck. You only need to pay for 13 meals a week for your first semester and 10 for your second.
