<p>If you get a meal plan while living in Mesa Court or Middle Earth then it is included, however, a voluntary meal plan will cost you ~8-10 a swipe anyways. A swipe is one entrance into the buffet. </p>
<p>If you are living in CV to save you money then just make your own food. You’ll have a kitchen to use and I suggest you take the time to learn how to cook. It’s cheaper and a lot healthier. Plus, you can always get a friend to swipe you in for the occasional buffet run. </p>
<p>I enjoyed having the meal plan as a freshman but I didn’t realize how much it was actually costing me.</p>
