If it is a student event, I doubt they charge anything, such as if a
student chapter of BLUG is used. Maybe if it is a student getting the
reservation, even without it being for a student group.

About the only meetings I've been to were school honor societies and
general student affairs, never from non-CU activities. Among those
activities though, they've often had things like cookies or pizza. This
was several years back though, so possibly it has changed. One thing is
that some of the rooms are marked as "no food", without regard to who it
is, student or other. I doubt anyone would complain if no food is served
anyway, last I knew of, nobody brought food to NIST meetings either.
