<p>Wouldn't it just beneficial to cook for yourself and subscribe to some sort of meal plan.
I think for 6 weeks of Summer Session B I only spent around 300 dollars.</p>

2

<p>The reason I ended up choosing the apartments was because the meal plan made the dorms so expensive. I’d rather cook for myself.</p>

3

<p>There is a meal plan for non dorm kids.
you can choose from 5 7 10 or 13 meals.
I think thats great since only dinner for me is a problem.</p>

4

<p>but everything is still misguided. for the 1st week a 10 meal/week plan will cost you 100dollars per meal.</p>

5

<p>idk…that seems like an error on SB’s part. a 5000 dollar discrepancy can’t put a meal 100 dollars EACH. that’s ludicrous! if so, i want an apartmant, man! </p>

<p>hypothetically, though: could i opt out after this quarter and transfer to an apartment, or do i have to stay one full year?</p>

6

<p>I don’t know, but I’m going to try to get out of the apartment.</p>

7

<p>For a guest it costs 12$ per meal…thats 60$ for 5 any time meals in a week. The schools rate if yer a student…is 600 dollars or 120 per meal</p>

<p>*but everything is still misguided. for the 1st week a 10 meal/week plan will cost you 100dollars per meal. *</p>

<p>I think you’re misreading the chart… if you start at week one, it’s $1102 (10 meal plan/11 weeks) for the rest of the quarter. It comes out to $10.02 per meal ($1102 / (10*11)).</p>

9

<p>D: I wish I didnt see the math. Now the meals seem much more expensive than I thought</p>

10

<p>Oh i assumed that it was that price every week…foot in mouth :D</p>
