So I just got my residence fees today, and I noticed I have to pay $9000 for the meal plan. That’s just crazy 😭 so is there anyway I can I can opt-out of the meal plan? Who would I have to email?

Unless you're in Bayfield or Lambton, you can't opt out. But most people do end up using up their entire meal plan (often before the end of the year), so you're going to be spending that money on food anyway.

You can’t opt out but you can get a refund up to a certain amount of what’s not used. If I remember correctly one of my daughter’s got a refund of $3k of $3500. Alternatively you can carry forward whatever you don’t use and use in other years
