Meal Plan/Food

I’m trying to decide whether I should buy the 14-meal plan or the 8-meal plan (those are my two options as a transfer student).

It seems like it won’t make that much of a difference if I don’t spend too much money on extra food (around 7 to 8 dollars per meal not covered by the meal plan might be fine), but I think everything will really depend on the average price of a meal outside of school.

It will also depend on whether or not the school food will be disgusting enough to make me miss enough meals and waste all my money.

I’m trying to decide on this before July 15.

An email from Vandy informed me that I’ll get a discount if I “login and make changes through 07/15/2010 to receive the discounted rate.”

But it didn’t tell me what the specific discounted rate is, and neither did it inform me of any more specific procedures I need to follow to get a discount. Am I missing something?

What do you guys think? Thanks.
