<p>Yes, as a current first-year, living RIGHT NEXT TO NEWCOMB (yea Brown College), even I do not use up all of my 13 meals every week, and neither do any of the other first years in Brown. We are all downgrading to 10 next semester. The problem is not that the food is not good (rather, it is usually just the same every day, but still edible) - it is that the hours are ridiculous. They close at 8 for dinner and a lot of days I am doing stuff until past 8. Lunch ends at 2 and that is inconvienent a lot of times too, just because most classes that are good meet during when you would eat lunch. And on the weekends, you usually go out for dinner anyways.</p>
