1.) the smallest one possible…7 meals a week i think.

2.) yes im serious about the meal plans…do not buy them. You’ll find that no one else has them…or they eventually cancel them. They are not as convenient as everyone may think. they limit where you eat to Fresh Food Company and Suwannee Room…you can’t use them in the union or anywhere. Especially in college…your meals usually arent regular and end up eating when you have time…the dining schedules in the cafeteria arent always convenient. And honestly…ive mentioned this somewhere else…most of the time it’s cheaper to eat off campus. One dinner in the cafeteria costs $8.25…with that kind of tab…you can eat a BETTER meal at a cheaper price. If you really would like to use the school food system…i recommend Garnet Bucks which work everywhere on campus.

I started off with garnet bucks, then eventually stopped using them in the second semester. My other friends started with meal plans…then canceled them and got garnet bucks as well…and some even canceled their garnet bucks.

I realize I’m the only one that’s commenting on this lol and some of this info is a bit redundant…but i figured id contribute.

I come from an italian family where a nice dinner is made every night. Going into college…i didn’t like the cafeteria food so I didn’t buy a meal plan that would restrict me to the suwannee room, etc. I guess it also depends on how your daughter eats. But feel free to ask me any questions…
