<p>For anybody who's already gone through the freshmen connection program, what do you suggest doing for meal plans? I'll be staying at the View apartments, is it worth it to get a meal plan or do you usually cook for yourself or what? Any information would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>It is NEVER worth it to get a dining plan if you don’t have to. You get so screwed over in fees (500 dollars on top of a 1300 dollar plan) that it’s ridiculous. If you’re on campus and want to eat in the dining hall, just pay out of pocket. It is cheaper. There is only one night a semester when there is a different price to people not on a meal plan, and even then you can show your ID to get the discount.</p>
