$200 a month isn't negligible, and that sentence to me feels like it's deliberately constructed to hide somehing. And it seems incredibly disingenuous to fold the meal plan into the comparison, unless Stratum is *also* going to be feeding people.
from the article, it sounded like stratum was going to 'imitate' (compete with?) penn's college house system, with hired student resident advisors and programming and whatnot (maybe even harry potter logos?) -- all to go along with the resort-style amenities like tearooms and tanning beds.
all these comparisons are interesting (and I always get a laugh when they say things like how it won't impact the landlords in our neighborhood), but the important thing is that penn owns the real estate, and needs outfits to manage whatever businesses are installed. it doesn't matter whether it's lemonade stands or pink lemonade stands or organic varietal heirloom lemonade stands -- the onus is on these businesses to make it work, and I'm sure they'll do whatever it takes (or leave). expect more of the same when the postal lands are developed (attracting venture capital, I think it's called).
