I was looking at Room and Board at UIUC and the price seems fairly average until it shows that plan includes only 10 meals/week. Is this the only plan they offer, and if not, what are the costs of the other options?
They have different options for meal plans. Some of the meal plans include more food than I can picture a person even eating in one day. I can’t find any price lists for the different plans. I recall seeing a price list on the UIUC site before.
Here are their different plans: http://www.housing.illinois.edu/dining/meal-plans/meal-plan-options
This page will take you to the rates with the different food plans. http://www.housing.illinois.edu/resources/rates/rates-2015-2016
IIRC, they also have a 19/week plan, and my personal favorite, a 7/day plan. Yup. You read that correctly. Up to 7 meals per day.
7 meals per day? Yikes - forget about the freshman 15, I think that would be the freshman 150!
Yeah, 7/day sounds good for the following options: Michael Phelps and other athletes that eat that much, one person getting a bunch of free meals for their friends, and yeah, that’s about it.
