agmama: meal plans are a 2 semester commitment, right?

aviatordream: I’d say the 14 meals is a great option in your situation, till you figure out a schedule for stocking fresh food in the fridge in semesters to come. Fresh food doesn’t remain too fresh (or tasty) even in the fridge although a fridge will certainly help for the late night snack. The 14 meal will force a discipline for “healthy” stuff – useful in the first semester or 2. Theoretically you could do it by going to the dining hall via the debit card option, but the power of the meal plan might well draw you there. College is quite a bit about making a habit.

As you can see, it is a bit of lifestyle/discipline issue, so different people will have different things working out.
