• New Residence Dining Hall
• Since New Residence and Madge Hogarth House have no kitchen facilities, students in these residences are on a required meal plan offered in the New Residence Dining Hall. The students are given what is essentially a credit card, to be used in the residence cafeteria and several other campus cafeterias. Purchases at the non-residence cafeterias are limited to $15 per week.

In the fall of 2005, the first term the meal plan was put into effect, anger over both high residence cafeteria costs and a clause stating unused funds would be lost at the end of each term prompted a sit-in at the residence office, as well as some media coverage. The plan was then hastily ammended, allowing funds from that semester to carry over to the next term. However, no permanent changes were made and prices at the cafeteria remained constant.
