<p>I went for the 250 plan at the recommendation of someone who’s a junior at BU, but also because if you don’t have enough meals, you can buy more with the dining points. At the time I figured that this would be good because if I decided I wanted a lot more meals and less dining points I could easily change it. However, now I’ve heard that freshmen are allowed to change their plan anytime during the first month and a half or so, so I don’t think it really matters too much what you choose now.</p>
