<p>First-Year Dining Plans 2010-2011</p>

<p>Plan 1— 19 meals per week and 75 Dining Dollars per term, plus 15 floating meals and 6 Faculty meals
Plan 2— 15 meals per week and 125 Dining Dollars per term, plus 10 floating meals and 6 Faculty meals </p>

<p>“There are 3 sets of dining plans available to Columbia University students. The first is available to first-year students only, specifically designed to encourage community building among new students. All first-years are required to enroll in one of two dining plans, each of which are comprised of a varying number of meals, served in John Jay Dining Hall, Ferris Booth Commons, or JJ’s Place and Dining Dollars, which can be used at the 12 dining locations on campus.” [Dining</a> : Dining Plan Comparison](<a href=“Columbia Dining”>Columbia Dining)</p>

<p>Did Columbia’s dining plan recently change? I don’t remember meals available in John Jay AND in Ferris or JJ’s. </p>

<p>What plan would you recommend an incoming freshman to sign up for now after the changes (if there was a change)?</p>

<p>The prevailing advice in the past has always been to always go with the least amount of meals and most points. </p>

<p>This new thing about using meals at Ferris and JJ’s has me a little skeptical. Until they come out and say exactly what options will be available at those places under the meal plan, I’d stick with the old advice.</p>
