                                    Thank you for reaching out to us with your concerns. As we explained to you previously, we have to enforce the use of the meal plan you have chosen. Our contractor has a to-go program available if you would like to take food with you and everyone must scan their card prior to obtaining a meal. We have no record of your observations regarding food quality, so we're disappointed to hear that you are displeased with the meals that are freshly prepared by professional chefs from locally-sourced ingredients. Your monthly installment is an even distribution of the cost designed to cover all open periods and the pricing would be considerably higher if meals were also provided over breaks. Since you have been displeased with our team's response to your questions, we wish to escalate any further concerns to our Cares Team at feedback@trinity-pm.com.

                                          So far, it has been very positive and good living at the Social. I would recommend people to live here. This is a safe space for students to live. It is very convenient for Chico and Butte students to live.
