Shepherd University has many dining options throughout the campus the issue is that the staff throughout isn't well trained, they seem very confused on how to use the meal plans and what needs to be used when purchasing. Shepherd Dining Services also only allows one to only use 2 meal swipes per meal period which is morning til 11AM then 11AM-4PM then dinner at 4PM-11PM. I have the most expensive meal plan the Deluxe 300 which gives me 300 meals per semester which is $6.50 a meal. The problem is that I can only use 2 per meal period which does not leave me much at all when I have class to juggle, meetings, exams scheduled, and tutoring etc.. on top of everything it does not leave much time to grab something to eat and if I already used 2 say at 11AM for a coffee and a salad. I cannot eat again until 4PM in the evening. I paid for 300 meals per semester I would like to use them when necessary and when I am hungry. I would be greatly appreciated if the staff knew how to use them and if you just let us use them when we want to as well.
Thank you. read more
