Whats the difference between the Western Flex Plan and my A la Carte Dining Plan?
A.The A la Carte Dining Plan is the mandatory meal plan for students living in the residence halls. You can use it in any of the Residence Dining Centers on campus and the prices you pay for food with the A la Carte Plan are approximately wholesale prices, considerably lower than retail prices. You can also use it in the Food Court at the University Union which is a retail environment. Residence hall students can purchase the Western Flex Plan as an optional addition to your A la Carte Dining Plan. This will give you the convenience of using your card in any vending machine on campus or in the residence hall laundry facilities, neither of which is possible with your A la Carte Dining Plan.
