<p>I'm an 18 year old boy who is thin but I can eat. Is the unlimited plan worth the cash or should I go with the other plans?</p>
<p>I got a few very consistent answers to a similar question:</p>

<p>Do you think you’re going to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner in an all-you-care-to-eat dining hall 7 days a week?<br>
Most students end up using their BRB’s (big red bucks) on campus M-F at an a la carte dining hall (e.g. trillium, goldie’s, synapsis, ivy room, etc.) whereas there’s only one all-you-care-to-eat option on central campus (okenshileds). Most also don’t eat 3 meals on weekends, instead sleeping in and having brunch (RPC’s brunch is the meal highlight of the freshman week) and dinner.<br>
Keep in mind that you can change your meal plan during the first few weeks if you find you have way too many or not enough meals.</p>
<p>14 meals a week it is then!</p>
<p>Agree and if you find that you take off on weekends or play a sport which takes you away from campus, 10 might even be enough. My D tended to eat breakfast in her room and on some days could not get to a dining hall for lunch due to her class schedule. She did eat dinner every night though so for her, 10/ week was perfect. </p>
<p>Remember it does not cost money ( admin fee) to go up in meals ( you do pay more money for the additional meals of course) but it does cost to go down.</p>
<p>And remember as freshman you will use more meals in your first couple of weeks than you will later as you are figuring things out and meeting people over meals.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if they have kitchens in the dorms cause sometimes I like to cook haha</p>
<p>There are kitchens in the dorms. How great they are depends on the dorm and where in the dorm you are. I was in Balch 5-2 and lived around the corner from the kitchen.</p>
