<p>According to my tour guide when I visited, freshmen usually eat in Annenberg, but they aren’t necessarily banned from the other halls. She said there’s an “unlimited” meal plan that supposedly translates to 99 meals a week, though the closest anyone came to eating that much was somewhere in the range of 57ish.</p>
<p>Also, you can use Crimson Cash (like a debit card) at many of the local restaurants.</p>
<p>ETA: I found confirmation of the unlimited meal plan here: [Harvard</a> College Admissions Office: Prospective Students](<a href=“http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/prospective/student_life/dining/index.html]Harvard”>http://www.admissions.college.harvard.edu/prospective/student_life/dining/index.html)</p>
