<p>The university our son attends has three meal plans, big, medium and small and you pay accordingly. Each version offered a certain amount of flex dollars. Since son only lives an hour away we figured he’d be coming home holidays, some weekends, ect… So looking at the what the plans offered, he went with the small plan and for him, that worked. He always had snacks in his room, including ramien noodles, breakfast bars, popcorn and coffee. He liked the flex dollars on the plan.</p>
