After that they moved into houses/apartments and ate whatever they wanted and it certainly wasn't in a school cafeteria. Do people rely on cafeteria food for 4 years due to financial reasons? Even that strikes me as odd since we are paying $900/month for my son to live in a dorm his final semester which is more than we paid for him to live in an apartment.
Sorry for my ignorance but I haven't seen this happen to any of the few dozen athletes I've known in 3 different sports. And some of these kids come from pretty poor families.

Depends where- housing in many schools around Boston is so expensive that the schools offer guaranteed on campus housing and own many of the off-campus options. All of my DD's teammates live on campus
