Ugh, meal plan.

I was on the 150 block first semester. I made friends who were all older and over the dining halls, which meant if I wanted to use my meals, I’d be eating alone or taking it to go to wherever they were. It was inconvenient. Second semester, I switched to declining balance. Unfortunately, you have to put the amount of the smallest meal plan on your declining if you switch midyear. I discovered Krishna lunch, which is amazing and vegetarian, and again, upperclassmen friends [especially those who aren’t living on-campus] want to eat off-campus a lot. It’s nice that declining will last until I graduate, but honestly there’s no advantage over just paying straight up for your food.

I would I guess suggest declining, but really just carry around your debit card or cash. Seriously, I always had everything on me anyway.
