Help! I'm a clueless mother, and I found a thread previously (maybe a few minutes ago?) about meal plans, and now I can't find it--but I did have questions. My son is a local, though it looks like he is going to be living in some dorm--and he will probably need a meal plan. But since he is a native New Yorker, I want the lowest cost one available. I thought that was 10 meals per week, which would cost about $3500 per year (ugh). But--what's a flex plan? I doubt he'll need it. He would forgo the meal plan entirely if he could, as he is quite used to eating in NYC on a budget! And there's always coming home, which is perhaps a five minute walk!

So--can anyone enlighten me? What is the flex plan? And, um, what are declining dollars?

Thanks.
