If im getting financial aid... shud i chose the best meal plan?

<p>Ok, so this is the deal.
I have a Regents Scholarship, and it covers 23,800 bucks, pretty much they are paying for me (except for like 2500 parent contribution)
so....i'll be living in a res hall next year, triple, cheapest thing ever. so shud i get the best meal plan (19 premier) and they'll pay for me?
or will my parent contribution increase..
cuz like..even with the best meal plan, i'll still be paying less than ppl in a plaza or whatever.... sooo ehh :/</p>

<p>If you are sensible about using it, get the best meal plan. Some people will have a meal plan and still eat out/buy coffees at Starbucks, etc. all the time. If you do the great majority of your dining in the dining halls, it’s worth it.</p>
