The Dining Plan

I am writing about the dining plan at Ball State because just this morning I went down stairs to eat breakfast at 10:10. I then got all my food and waited in line and that took forever because the line was so long. By the time I got to the front it was past 10:30 and I could no longer get breakfast. The meals plans are set up for you to lose money. The way they should do it is is give us 3 meals a day and we use them as we please. Another way they could do it is just give us an amount of swipes a week. For example, I am on the 18 meal plan. If I use 14 during the week and then am going home for the weekend I should be able to swipe it 4 times before I leave. Instead, when i go home, Ball State just gets that money that I paid for. I am upset because this meal plan is set up for us to lose money and also because i didn't get breakfast this morning.
