<p>I’m referring to meal plans as a 2nd yr student.</p>
<p>BRB purchasing bulk meals is MORE expensive than paying upfront at the cash register. LOL Wut?</p>
<p>I saw the 180 meal plan and it averaged around $11 per meal, and that was factoring out aggie cash.</p>
<p>Why buy in bulk when you can pay upfront for cheaper?</p>
<p>Your problem is that you think breakfast, lunch, and dinner all cost the same, when it doesn’t. Here is the breakdown of the costs (prices have risen since this post was made, because I had to pay $10 for lunch when I ate at the Tercero DC one day): </p>

<p>Using the figures there, eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner (excluding late night), there would add up to $29.37, NOT including tax. For 10 weeks (approx. 70 days), that comes out to $2,055.90 (29.37 x 70 days)–if you include eating at the DC for festive meals, the cost goes up. The 180 meal plan for off-campus students is $1,645 (which counts Aggie cash), which is $410.90 CHEAPER than if you were to pay upfront. If Aggie Cash wasn’t included in the $1,645, then the cost of the 180 meal plan would be even cheaper. </p>
<p>The 180 meal plan is only ideal if you’re planning on eating all 3 meals on campus, anyway. If you plan on eating only one meal and occasionally, the “build your own option” for $635 is more ideal. </p>
<p>(I assume you’re an off-campus student because not many current 2nd year students are allowed to continue staying in the dorms unless they got accepted to be an RA)</p>
<p>Hi, not sure if you’ve checked this out. There’s a facebook group where swipes are being sold for $4-6. <a href=“https://www.facebook.com/groups/216897591730862/[/url]”>https://www.facebook.com/groups/216897591730862/</a></p>
