University introduces dining hall deal for commuters

Marywood University in Scranton, Pa., is now giving commuter students a discount at its dining hall each Thursday, the Wood Word newspaper reports.

Commuter students are able to purchase lunch and dinner for $7.50 per meal, compared to the normal price of $15.

School officials hope that the deal will introduce those students to the dining hall and encourage them to buy a meal plan in the future. On average, 30 to 40 commuter students have been taking part in the deal each week.

The university is looking to expand the discount to also include Tuesdays.
