The average Oberlin student eats 11.6 meals per week on a meal plan. For students on the 10- or 14-meal plans, this adds up to either wasted or insufficient meals. In order to eliminate unused meal points, ResLife will offer a new 12-meal-per-week plan with 65 dollars in flex points monthly for the next academic year.
