<p>I did at times get sick of the food at the dining halls. I used to eat out at least once a week to mitigate that.</p>

<p>There is no "best" meal plan. People have different eating requirements and some people go home more than others. That's why they have a variety of plans to choose from. From a value standpoint, I feel the 19 Gold is the best plan for me, because I won't be going home on weekends, and it only costs $100 more than 14 Gold, so if do want that 3rd meal a day it is available to me, and I don't have to spend additional funds on a snack or restaurant.</p>

<p>The cost is $120 more per year which come out to only 52 cents/day! Even if you are not a breakfast eater I would think 19 is better. You could easily duck into the dining commons for coffee and a danish. This has to be cheaper than getting the 14, then end up buying coffee from an on-campus coffee shop or vendor stand.</p>

<p>Now if you go home every weekend I can see getting the 14.</p>

<p>I'm not going home every weekend, but I think I'll still be getting the 14</p>

<p>can u swipe ur card @ Jamba Juice?</p>

<p>oooh i hope so... that stuff is pretty addicting :p</p>

<p>nope. swipes only work at dining halls and "quick service restaurants" in the dorms area.</p>

<p>i really wish they worked at ackerman though. i would definitely get the 19 plab and get jamba juice like every day. :D</p>

<p>I luv the Passion Berry Breeze...
OMG, the Matcha Green Tea: UGH!</p>

<p>Power-sized Sunrise Strawberry with Energy Boost for mental stamina. :)</p>

<p>"can u swipe ur card @ Jamba Juice?"</p>

<p>Nope. But there's some pretty decent smoothies at Bruin Cafe...</p>

<p>Bruin Cafe "Ice Blended" beats Jamba Juice any day. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Flopsy, is that like the Ice Blended drinks at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf? Because Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf > Jamba Juice > Starbucks. I hate Starbucks.</p>

<p>Yes, they're identical to the Ice Blended drinks at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>

they even have coffee bean and tea leaf branded cups. :D</p>

<p>Wow, this thread is mind-boggling...</p>

<p>I'm going to go for 19P. I've always eaten breakfast (been a habit, even when I was in a college dorm setting last summer) and I know I eat my 3+ meals a day every day. I starve without breakfast (well, exception for weekends)...and assuming that I even spend $5/day, I'll spend an extra $650 or so just to make up for the 7 or so meals I miss with 14R/14P. And 19P is just $175 more than 14P.</p>

<p>I'll probably have extra meals because of eating out quite a bit, but I think it's a safe gamble to make.</p>

<p>I just upgraded my meal to 14P because I will probably swipe other ppl in, and I also do not want to forfeit a swipe just because I missed a meal.</p>

<p>14 premier is good, but 14 regular was just fine for me, and I never went home on the weekends.</p>

<p>I plan on going home every other week, so 14 would not work for me.</p>

<p>Plus, there'd be days where I just want to pig out.</p>
