Listen again:
W: Um, hi, do I need to purchase a meal plan?
M: Are you a freshman?
W: Yes.
M: Then… yes, you must. That's our policy.
W: Oh, but I'm allergic to dairy products. So, I mean I don't know if there are like, any meals that I'll be able to eat. Does this mean I'll also have to buy food off-campus then?
M: No, not unless you want to. Dining services offers dairy and non-dairy meals for all students, every day.
W: Oh, really?
M: Yes, we offer soy milk. And we also have soy-based products at every meal, like tofu, so you don't have to worry.
W: Wow, that's great. This is totally the opposite of my high school meal plan.
M: We try to meet the needs of the different groups of students on our campus. We even have special meal. days that feature foods from different countries, so international students also get a taste of home.
W: Great. Can I pay now?
M: Yep, I just need your student I.D. number.
W: Oh, I forgot my I.D. in my room. I'll be right back.
M: No problem.
