<p>Hey everyone. Me again xP. So now I’ve moved onto dining plans. The dining plans are for “terms.” How long is a term? Is it like a quarter and therefore about 10 weeks?</p>

<p>Thanks :D</p>

useful.

Marginally useful.

Needlessly snarky. Treat others the way you’d like to be treated, y’know?</p>

<p>that’s really strange, it does link to this year’s '08-'09 even though the title the page created for the link says '07-'08. just gets old seeing repetitive-ish questions, but yeah i get what you mean.</p>
