Are Meal Plans Worth It?

Meal plans are great for the first semester as to time management, since grocery shopping, cooking and cleaning up takes time. It also forces some social activities outside of class for the socially shy.

With this being said, its a lot of food and unless you get the full plan (unlimited access) the cost differential is not worth it.

While there is supposed to be a 2 semester commitment, I do not think it is enforced. Declining balance (unless you get flex bucks)) is a complete waste.

Sign up for the e-mail notice and look for deals. Otherwise, rent a fridge with your roommates (or get a mini-fridge) and make your own meals for the most part.
