CIT only 12%.[/quote]

It may be based in part on other factors related to the school.  For instance if the school has mandatory meal plan, that will encourage kids with food allergies and/or eating restrictions to register for an accommodation to get an exception.  Schools with good dorm facilities may have fewer registrations, as there is less need to register an accommodation to get a single (necesssry for kids with things like Tourette’s), bathroom access (IBS) or decent hvac (asthma, chagrin’s).    My kid is considering submitting an accommodation request to get out of the mandatory meal plan — currently we pay like 4K a year for food that they cannot eat due to a chronic GI issue that requires specific foods not easily available in the very bad dining halls.  At another school, that probably wouldn’t be necessary.  Another example is stuff like priority parking — not necessary at many schools but essential at others.  [/quote]
