Couch Cafe Availability for Students without Meal Plans

The Couch Cafeteria renovations affect the freshman class and the 160 non-freshman who have a meal plan. That is approximately 3,860 students out of around 30,000 students on the Norman campus, according to the OU Factbook.

A student wishing to go to the Couch Cafe has to pay $7 for breakfast, $8 for lunch, and $9 for dinner.

"At most schools, students eat at the cafe all through college. Not just freshman year. I guess we have the union, but there should be a cafeteria for everyone that isnt so expensive. We are poor college students," business junior, Katie Davis, said.

Faculty and staff, as well as commuter students and upperclass residents, are also able to purchase a meal plan, Housing and Foods spokeswoman, Lauren Royston, said in an email.
