best meal plan

<p>so why is 14p so popular if you guys say that the premier plan is pretty much useless unless you always want to swipe other people in?</p>

<p>they've all been brainwashed! :eek:</p>

<p>i guess some people think its worth the convenience. but i'm a pretty practical (read: frugal) person that doesnt like to waste money so i dont think its worth it, considering i eat almost all my meals anyways. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>what do people eat for breakfast by the way since MOST don't eat it at the dining halls? do people buy like bread/snacks or something from outside and keep in their dorms to eat everyday for breakfast?</p>

<p>Well, I think when most people say they don't eat breakfast they don't eat at all. They eat two meals a day or something.</p>

<p>My guess is that some people who don't eat at dining halls for every meal may eat at the foodcourt or a restaurant in Westwood</p>

<p>i have granola bars i sometimes eat for breakfast. :p</p>

<p>I personally was glad I got 14 premiere. Well worth the premium.</p>

<p>But I was also prone to getting Puzzles and then a smoothie on the side...</p>

<p>uclari, what did you like about premiere? </p>

<p>if i'm going to be someone who won't swipe in others and will probably eat all my meals, should i get premiere?</p>

<p>I liked premiere for a number of reasons:</p>

<ul>
<li> I liked getting a smoothie AND a meal together sometimes.<br></li>
<li> Sometimes, you want to go and swipe food for your roomies or a friend and do a food run for them. Can't do that without premiere.</li>
<li> You never know when someone might want to be swiped in. What if you end up dating someone who doesn't live on-campus or go to UCLA? :p</li>
</ul>

<p>But mostly just the flexibility. 14 Premier worked for me.</p>

<p>wait...so a smoothe=1 swipe and a meal= 1 swipe? isnt that kind of wasteful (a waste) if you use a swipe for a smoothie (cost like what, maybe $3,4 dollars?) over a buffet meal (around $10???)? </p>

<p>what other things other than meals/smoothies can you use swipes for?</p>

<p>collegegirlgirl,</p>

<p>Smoothies are a swipe. Welcome to UCLA. If you don't want smoothies, don't get any. :p</p>

<p>You can swipe drinks and pizzas.</p>

<p>what if you wanna eat cereal in the morning (get a fridge for the milk) and eat dinner at home (microwave a lean cuisine for lunch or sth)...could you decide to not get meal plan then? how much would it cost?</p>

<p>No, you have to get a meal plan.</p>

<p>Don't try to live like that. You'll hate life.</p>

<p>poor anorexic people..</p>

<p>uclari,</p>

<p>so a smoothie swipe is like the same as a meal swipe? just that the meal swipe is probably the most worth it?</p>

<p>I guess... they can always just go and eat a piece of fruit...</p>

<p>Why, are you "pro-ana?"</p>

<p>In terms of cash, the most "worth it" is dinner. </p>

<p>The smoothie or the two drinks swipe is probably the "least worth it."</p>

<p>But when you feel like a delicious strawberry-banana smoothie, all of a sudden the intangible benefits seem very powerful.</p>

<p>cant u steal a smoothie</p>

<p>How on earth are you going to go behind the counter and make a smoothie in front of everyone?</p>

<p>You swipe for the smoothie and it's made to order. You then give them a receipt. No, you can't steal a smoothie.</p>

<p>ugh i guess ill just have to live without a smoothie.</p>

<p>14 blue was my choice, hopefully i wont regret it.</p>

<p>If i do however, how easy is it 4 me to upgrade to premier</p>

<p>Just go to the housing cashier and ask for an upgrade.</p>
