We all love the weekly, or sometimes daily, visit to Mack’s Market. Students generally don’t pay much attention to the prices because it’s the only on-campus option. It is required to have a meal plan if you live on campus, but did you ever notice how much you are spending on groceries compared to the local grocery store?

Students like sophomore business major María Montt are outraged that they are paying such high prices at Mack’s.
