Continuing Students: Procedure for Reserving Campus Housing Continuing on-campus students desiring to reserve on-campus housing for the fall must sign up for the room of their choice according to the reservation schedule in the spring. Commuter students desiring to live on campus need to contact the Housing Manager. Commuter Students Students who live off campus are an important part of our uni- versity community. The Office of Commuter Life is responsible for establishment and on-going development of an environment that supports the undergraduate commuter population. This depart- ment is responsible for representation of commuter student concerns as well as provision of services and programs tailored for commuters. Commuter Life also serves as a resource to advise the University regarding current commuter student needs and concerns, and is also responsible for the management of the Col- legium, a home-away-from-home for commuter students. Food Service Biola provides excellent food service for all students. A wide vari- ety of entrées, sandwiches, soups, fresh fruits, bread, beverages, and desserts is offered. The food service staff will work out indi- vidual programs for students with special dietary requirements or weight reduction programs prescribed by a physician. A variety of meal plans are available. All students living in the resi- dence halls are required to choose either a 10 without flex or 10 -, 12-, 15- or 20-flex meal plan. (The numbers indicated are meals per week.) A “flex” plan is 10, 12, 15 or 20 meals per week at Café Biola, our dining room, plus “flex dollars” to purchase additional meals either at Café Biola, the Eagles’ Nest, our on-campus coffee shop, or Common Grounds, our coffee house, the coffee cart, or the School of Business Grab N Go. Commuter students or students who reside in the Biola apart- ments have further meal plan options. Check with Food Services for details.
