MOBILE, Alabama - Beginning next fall, University of South Alabama students living on campus will be required to purchase meal
plans.
A meal plan costing $1,300 per semester is now mandatory for
on-campus freshmen. The university's new $8.8 million dining
facility is expected to be open next fall, and the university hopes
it will be self-supporting with the help of the meal plans.
Elsewhere around the state, all on-campus students at the
University of Alabama at Birmingham must buy meal plans. Auburn
University is phasing in a mandatory meal plan for all students,
while at the University of Alabama, only on-campus freshmen have to
purchase meal plans.
South Alabama is traditionally a commuter school and just 1,700
of the school's 14,757 students live on campus this semester.
