<p>so what do you guys feel are the best housing and meal options? i hope it just isn't the ones that cost the most $$$ if i could hear from current hopkins students that would be great!! thanks.</p>
<p>I've heard that you probably don't want to get the meal plan with the unlimited blocks (also the most expensive one). The blocks are for cafeteria meals, which have a less-than-stellar reputation. Points are equivalent to dollars and you use them to purchase (better) food at other university food outlets. </p>
<p>There's some good info on food and housing at the admissions office message boards for admitted students -- the link should have been sent to you via email.</p>
