<p>Two Questions:</p>
<p>1). I got into Cowell College. What have you heard about it or liked/disliked about it if you lived there?</p>
<p>2) What is the best meal plan to do if you are living in a Residence Hall? If you do the 5-Day Plan how late are the on-campus food places open on the weekend if you want to use your cash? Also, if you end up in an apartment (I know it is very unlikely the first year) is the 55 meal plan enough?</p>
<p>I’m going to be in cowell as well this fall, and I was wondering the same thing. I asked one of my friends who already has been at ucsc for 2 years now and lives in cowell what her opinion was on the meal plan, and she said to definetly get the 7 day. Her reasoning was that
not having any meals for the weekends means you are either going out to eat (which gets expensive), have enough food in your dorm for 6 meals over the weekend (yeah right), or have a friend with an apt to cook (not super dependable) … Basically Its efficient to have a 7 day … Most people with 5 days go home on the weekends. Not sure about the apartments tho.
Hope that helps!
and as for dislikes and likes…its closest to the gym, best view
down sides one of the oldest buildings so not as nice as the newer colleges</p>
