Has the economy affected whether or not your eat on campus?


A survey asked 30 random people the following questions:

Has the economy affected whether or not your eat on campus?

If your answer is no, is it because when you eat elsewhere off campus, you are spending your parents money...and you don't care as much about there money as you do your own money?

If you had to spend your own money...would it affect where you ate? Why?

Here are the results:

18 out of 30=60% said the economy has effected where they eat. About 13 of these 18 students have meal plans to ensure they don’t overspend on food. The 6 of these students who do not have meal plans eat at the Alfred pack grill because they believe it’s cheaper. They almost never eat on the hill, unless it’s for a quick fix, when they aren’t eating at Alfred Packer, they are eating the groceries they buy.

30% said that the economy doesn’t affect them because they are using their parents money. Most of them said if they had to use their own money, they would probably eat on campus more.

Lastly, the final 10% said they spend their own money, but they choose to eat off campus because there is more of a variety and they believe they can make healthier choices.
