UC Meal Plans
The University of Cincinnati offers resident students a variety of meal plans for its dining halls. First year residents are required to purchase one of the full-sized resident meal plans:
- 209 Value Plan - 209 meals / quarter - $1239 / quarter
- 154 Plan - 154 meals / quarter - $1178 / quarter
- 132 Plus Plan - 132 meals / quarter plus $100 on "Bearcat Card" - $1239 / quarter
The Bearcat Card is simply the students photo ID, which can be used as a debit card at a limited number of locations, and which provides the student a modest discount at the university's pricey vending machines.
Returning students are not required to purchase one of the meal plans above, but they may purchase an "Independent Meal Plan":
- Platinum - 45 Meals + $100 on Bearcat Card - $405
- Gold - 33 Meals + $50 on Bearcat Card - $276
- Silver - 25 Meals + $30 on Bearcat Card - $214
- Bronze - 15 Meals + $30 on Bearcat Card - $140
Notice something odd?
| Meal Plan | Price per meal |
| 209 Value Plan | $5.93 |
| 154 Plan | $7.65 |
| 132 Plus Plan | $8.63 |
| Platinum Independent | $6.78 |
| Gold Independent | $6.85 |
| Silver Independent | $7.36 |
| Bronze Independent | $7.33 |
Absolutely absurd.

So, according to your calculations, thrifty freshmen pay the most per meal? Absolutely absurd!
