<p>which one did you choose?
-I'm wondering if I really need the Platinum Plan?</p>
<p>Don't go with the most expensive one, you will probably use it less and less as the year goes on. I know tons of people who wound up wasting money because they got really big meal plans.</p>
<p>^^^ yeah that's what I heard too. I'm just sticking to the silver food plan. It already means unlimited dining, just without the spartan cash. It's kinda lame that they don't have a smaller plan though...other schools have the 2 meals per weekday, 1 meal per weekend day choice. I'd like that better so I wouldn't have to eat cafeteria food all day. Unlimited dining just means I'll milk the plan for all its worth..I'm not picky :D</p>
<p>Or if you really want to save money, just buy your own. $6-$8 per meal is kind of ridiculous in my opinion, and you can get much better cheaper food buying it yourself. I know a guy living there full time who only spends $20 a week on food.</p>
<p>The Spartan Cash is a great way to pay for doing laundry in the dorms.</p>
<p>I chose the gold plan but will I need spartan cash if I already have a debit card?</p>
<p>I was wondering that too. What other uses are there for the Spartan cash?</p>
