<p>It’s often smart to just not get a meal plan if you don’t have to, and buy Garnet Bucks as needed. Often there’s some promotion for an extra 10% if you buy $300+ right after the semester starts, and the meal plans really only work if you use every meal available- which I can almost guarantee won’t happen for about 99% of people. </p>
<p>Plus with how much meal plans cost anymore, it’s almost smarter to just pay per meal as you need it. With Garnet Bucks, you still get the 50 cents discount per meal that using the FlexBucks of the meal plans get, and there’s no commitment for both semesters like with a meal plan.</p>
