[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do the women in eating houses eat most of their meals just with the women in the eating house? Where do the men eat?[/quote]

PP here with daughter in an eating house. Members of eating houses can and do bring occasional guests but usually lunch and dinner are with the women in the eating house. The eating houses don't serve breakfast and any meals on weekends (incl Fri dinner). For breakfast and weekend meals, she will eat with everyone else in Commons or use dining dollars at Union/Wildcat Den, Qdoba or Summit Coffee or go off campus to eat. Students pay extra for eating houses and then combine that with one of the less expensive college meal plans. My daughter is signed up for the lowest cost college dining plan (2 meals/week + $400 dining dollars that can be used anywhere on campus including a big discount if used at Commons). Her dorm room this year has a full kitchen--she will be living in a 5 bedroom suite with 4 other friends. BTW only 2 of her roommates are in her eating house while one is not a member of any. She usually grabs a quick breakfast in her room rather than use one of her precious meal swipes. That combination (eating house + minimum dining plan + groceries) saves us money vs. the unlimited dining plan.

The men who are in fraternities eat lunch and dinner during the week at the frats like the eating houses.  However, 75% of men and many of the athletes are not members of any frat. According to my daughter, most male athletes will eat the majority of their meals in Commons. Davidson's open campus party policy makes a big difference in the social scene compared with schools like Wake Forest or Colgate.  [/quote]
