Apply for Student HousingYou are required to purchase a meal plan each semester if you live in Hale Anuenue, Frear Hall, Gateway House, Hale Aloha Towers, Johnson Hall, Hale Kahawai, and Hale Laulima. You are automatically enrolled in the “Select 10,” a 10-meal per week plan that can be changed should you want more meals per week.
