@CaliEd My suggestion in regards to picking a freshman dining plan is… can you see yourself eating at the same place 2 to 3 times a day? The Mustang 150 plan has 150 meal credits/quarter which avg 13 meals/week. The main sticking point for me is those meal credits don’t roll over to the quarter unlike the declining meal balance (use to be called Plus Dollars). So use them or lose them. I would post over on Reddit and ask current students about 805 kitchen (the on campus all you can eat venue). They don’t post what’s on the menu, so there’s no ideal of menu rotation.

The difference between the cheapest and most expensive dining plan is $552. Unless you are on financial aid or on a tight budget , I would just suck it up and go with the most expensive plan that gives you all in declining balance funds (Plus Dollars). Why? You have the most freedom with it. You can use them at any dining venue and anything they sell at campus market.

But thank heavens my D is not a freshman this year, those dining plans are crazy expensive!!
