<p>My son will be a freshman and will be living in Friley hall. I'm trying to decide what will be the best meal plan for him. He won't be going home on the weekends, only when there is a break. The food seemed good when we visited. I'm curious what the students think after a while??Does anyone have any suggestions for the first year? </p>
<p>We got my son the 17 meals per week plan for fall semester last year. He had quite a few unused meals at the end, he never really ate breakfast at the dining center.</p>
<p>Spring semester, we went with the 14 meals per week plan and he ran out with 2 weeks left. We found out he was using his meal swipes for smoothies at the gym after working out. Had he just used his meal swipes for actual meals, he would have been fine. Tell your son to use meal swipes for actual meals and dining dollars/cash for snacks. If he does that, 14 would work. If he needs a hot breakfast most weekdays, then consider the larger plans.</p>
<p>Congrats on getting Friley Hall! He should love it. </p>
