Dining at UMD

hey guys

I’m An OOS prospective student at UMD and wanted to know a little more about the dining situation. I am used to schools having buffets for every meal, but at UMD I know that most of it is a la carte. I am a big eater and was wondering if the normal point allotment would be enough for me. I prefer to eat 3 meals a day during the weekdays (breakfast will be smaller) and most likely will be eating a couple meals on the weekends. Can anyone give me their experience with dining at UMD?

Here is the link to dining info. As a freshman, you only 2 plans to choose from

Get the most basic dining plan, keep basic breakfast food in your dorm room, get a terrapin express account as an add on
