Well I think that might depend on where she is living. I lived on south campus my first two years and eating at the dining halls was a social experience. My friends that didn’t have meal plans got really tired of the hassle of trying to get to a grocery store and cooking in the dorm kitchen. On south campus, you meet people on your hall and go to dinner at Ramshead.

If she is assigned to north campus, she is much more likely to travel to Franklin Street for dinner now and again.

If you want to forgo the meal plan I suggest putting money in the flex dining account. Its tax free for food purchases and value can be added online. You make purchases with your one card student ID. So definitely look into that if you think a meal plan isn’t the way to go.
