No meal plan for freshman ... what do you think?

^ Good idea. I’d also tell her to see how often she actually goes to the dining hall during the first 2-3 weeks of school. I got the smallest plan my first semester and found that after three and a half weeks of school, I’d only managed to force myself to go to the dining hall a grand total of 9 times. I got a refund and it worked out so much better to take that cash and take care of my own food. I joke that I’m on the “Panera Meal Plan” because I’d much rather get a $8 sandwich there or a $5 cup of soup than pay $10 for dining hall food.

IMO- the social isn’t as much of an issue. People were more than willing to swipe me in throughout the year and especially during the last half of the semester. Now, I’ll go occasionally with friends or with my roommate, but I normally just do bottom of Lenior for lunch and groceries/Franklin st. for the rest. Works out to be cheaper this way too!
