<p>Well since you all are talking about meal plans right now, may I join in : ) </p>
<p>My parents want me to get the meal plan, even though the dorms I choose don’t require one. My dad thinks that I need to focus on my studies instead of running to buy grocery, cooking etc… </p>
<p>Although I’m thinking otherwise, with the meal plans they offered after looking into them, it seems disgusting to me, unhealthy, and I feel like they would rotate the food that hasn’t been used for another day… </p>
<p>I’m very health conscious when it comes to food, I’d much rather cook my own food and stay fit. I’ve heard so many stories of people with meal plans gaining weight from colleges lol, not that it happens to everyone, but it does. </p>
<p>My parents are also concerned that I will “skip” my meals due to not having enough time, that’s why they suggested that I get the meal plan. Given what Pasbal said above </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don’t fall within that range lol, so it would be difficult to “schedule” myself to eat, just cause I have such a abnormal eating habit lol. </p>
<p>But I do agree that the meal plans they offer “seems” and by the sound of it, are rip offs.</p>
