| We have the opposite experience of soproudofkids. Our freshman D is on the Square Deal Plan (I believe the minimum you are allowed to sign up for as a freshman) and here, just 40 days or so until she comes home, she has plenty of points left - points that are not transferrable to the next year. She does eat breakfast in her room (not a big breakfast eater) but also, RARELY eats off campus - meaning, she uses her meal plan for the other two meals of the day. So, guess it would depend on your appetite.
People have advised in previous threads to sign up for the lowest point plan you think you will use, then add points to it as needed throughout the year. Their rationale for this was that a 'fee' is added to the initial plan you purchase and the amount of that fee depends on the size of the plan. There is no fee when you buy additional points for the plan during the year. |
