Hi all,
I’m an incoming freshman at UCSD, and was wondering what people’s thoughts were about which dining plan to choose vs. how much money to put into triton cash. Essentially, my question is the following: would it be best (meaning, would it be cheaper) to choose a dining plan that has the smallest amount of dining dollars available and focus on putting money for food instead into triton cash, or, should one pick a more expensive dining dollar plan and focus less on putting money into the triton cash account? I am aware that triton cash can be used at more locations than dining dollars, but my question is about which would be financially less expensive. Any thoughts or suggestions, though, are of course much appreciated! Thanks.
