I believe dining halls are closed during fall break and thanksgiving, although RPCC has a Thanksgiving dinner for kids who stay behind.

In the dining world, a week is Thursday to Thursday. In the case of your dining week, it would end the day the dining hall closes. So, on Thursday your account refreshes to 7 meals and you would use them until Saturday (in the case of fall break) and whatever you have left I believe you use on Tuesday/Wednesday (which I think is when the halls reopen). You then refresh to your 7 meals on Thursday.

Sorry if that is confusing!

to get a cake, your friends can just go to the swiper person at the front of the dining hall and ask if they can get you a cake. they just use their brbs to pay for it and then pick it up for later

Anyone know of how the "house meal plans" work out on West? For example, the "House Choice" is $2,200/semester and includes $250 in BRBs and fifty additional meals. What they leave out though, is how many meals/week that equates to. If it's comparable to Bear Choice then would it be 10/week?

It does mention on the dining site "unlimited access to meals during designated service periods within the West Campus House System." That can't mean round the clock buffet-style living, or can it? (Transfer 15 anyone?)

Dining - House Meal Plans

And for those that live out on West, which meal plan do you suggest?

I got the Bear traditional. Looks like I'll need to plan out how I use the BRBs so I don't just use it all at once.

I'm a little bit concerned about the Golden Bear meal plan. It seems like a good option, but couldn't Berkeley sue for copyright infringement ????

Don't worry about BRBs....it's verrrrrry difficult to spend all in one semeter.

Nesquik - if the College of Engineering thought you should have a sense of humor, they would have included it in the required materials list.

It's pretty easy. You just glance through all of your previous posts.

As a Cornell engineer you should be a little bit brighter!

Getting back to topic, I was wondering if we can pay for meals at the all you care to eat halls using BRB's, which I think is about 6 or 7 dollars when I came for Cornell days? If this is the case I'd probably eat two meals a day (which is what I do now anyways) while balancing the number of meals I have with the amount of BRB's left. Do students pay for all you care to eat meals with BRB's?
