Bowling Green forgoes summer meal plan option

May 16—University Dining Services at Bowling Green State, in Ohio, will not be offering a summer meal plan. The decision was due in part to the closing of the Falcon’s Nest because of construction in the Union, said Adam Koons, marketing assistant for University Dining Services.

“We didn’t want students to buy [a meal plan] and find we didn’t have much open,” Koons said.
In previous years, a meal plan was offered during the summer and some options were open in the Falcon’s Nest, such as BG Sub and 2.Mato 2.Nite, Koons said.

This summer, Starbucks, The Peregrine Shop and Dunkin’ Donuts will be available during certain hours to students, as well as a hot dog cart during lunch, which will be outside of the Union. The cart, called “Mess Haul,” began serving lunch Monday and will be out during the summer and into the fall from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. as long as the weather allows, Koons said.
