<p>Hello and congrats to everyone that was accepted!</p>
<p>I was wondering which meal plan most freshmen are on. I'm debating between the Deluxe and the 19-Meal Plan. Is it really worth it to pay $300 dollars more a year for just 2 more meals a week? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I’m sure the 19 meal plan is fine. Dorm food gets old quickly and there is lots of choices on campus which are not included in the meal plan to tempt you. You can always reduce your meal plan once you start. You can’t increase it, but they let you reduce it within the first few weeks of school.</p>
<p>We bought our daughter the deluxe plan when she first started last year, she never used it to that level. There are a ton of places on or next to campus to eat, so the deluxe plan was just too much.</p>
<p>You can take the lowest plan available to freshman and opt for the off-campus meal plan. This is not through the school but can be used at several places on Marshall St., restaurants in Syracuse including the Dinosaur Bar-B-Que and many others. Also, since they will not have a car to get around, many places deliver. The website is ocmp.com. You select syracuse and can review the restaurants and different plans available.</p>
