• Give credit or partial refund for meals not eaten, allow students to use ìunusedî meals for visitors-if a student has meals left on meal card.  Buy meal plans with less meals in freshman & sophomore years.
• My daughter eats very irregularly and I felt she was losing money by having to pay for the 21 meal plan with no other options.
• The pricing plans do not meet the financial needs of the entire student body-(Fresh/Soph have too few options.)
• For people in sports should have lesser priced meal plans because they are not there for 21 meals because of travel, 14 meals would be better, you have no choice but 21 for two years.
• I wish that there were other options besides the 21 meal plan for Freshman and Sophomores.  I know I ended up wasting many that I did not need, but had to pay for anyway.
• It would be great if meal plan could be used in Big Alís.
• For our family to come and have a meal in the cafeteria is very expensive.  Is there anyway to lower the cost?
• Pioneer does not consistently offer ìhealthyî food (as described by the FDA.)
• I think thereís a good variety of food but I wish that the main dish could be something healthier more often.
• Institutional food will never be the same as home cooking.  I have heard though that the soups have been cold.
• There is variety for breakfast and lunch but not for dinner.  Quality of dinner main meals are not good.
• Quality would be great at times - shrimp, clams, etc. then youíd go days with no variety and leftovers; why do freshman have to buy the full weekends - hand out certificates for alternative sources (snack shop) instead.
• For allergy reasons, some of the following changes would help: filtered water for juice, yogurt without artificial flavors and colors, whole wheat bread without soy, addition of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, better quality meat, espcially hamburger(has made me sick.)  Also, breakfast could be longer and include the options of yogurt and cottage cheese.

• Being on a varsity team has helped me to value the abilities God has given me as an individual-Houghton has aided to that.
• Would like to see Menís Volleyball (not club level)
• I felt more free recreational activities should be offered for the kids, especially for those who donít drive.
• Better equipment and larger weight room.
