<p>Hey, all. I’m wrapping up my last semester before transferring and have begun working out my final planning budget for the fall quarter. One of the few things that I haven’t been able to figure out from websites is how much I need to budget in for food, of all things.</p>
<p>I’m not living on campus, nor am I living in Davis. In general, I’ll be “stuck” on campus for the entirety of my day, though the exact hours are going to be up in the air (depends on class and study schedule, whether I make the bowling team, etc.) I expect that I’ll be doing lunch on campus every day, and maybe the occasional dinner.</p>
<p>My original idea was to get a dining hall meal plan with an smaller number of meals, but it seems that those are only available to residence hall residents. The other main option appears to just be Aggie Cash, and spending that at the various cafes around campus. Beyond that, it’s just spending normal old money at on-campus eateries, which I can probably work out a budget for once I visit the campus.</p>
<p>I’m wondering if I’m missing any other options out there (besides brown-bagging, natch). I’m transferring into Viticulture & Enology, though I still have some biology and chem classes left to take, in case the location of my classes might matter for food availability.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for your advice and comments.</p>
