However, one major advantage of living in Collegetown is the associated South Campus meal plan. City Bucks were initially meant to be an ‘equalizer’ for those living on South Campus and have quickly become an attractive feature of the area. By contrast, the South Campus plan has more flexible spending in the form of City Bucks. I would have more freedom to explore more of Ithaca if my meal plan included City Bucks too. I would not support a large allocation of City Bucks in new plans, given that would likely be reflected in uncomfortable tuition increases.
