<p>What meal plan would you recommend for a freshman? My son is not a big eater and I would like him to have the opportunity to eat off campus (well on campus but at a restaurant) from time to time. He will be in LSA honors and hopefully will be housed in the South Quad (which is close to the Michigan Union). Thanks for any input.</p>
<p>Most students use fewer meals than they expect. Start with the 120 as that is very likely all he’ll use. This can be changed a few weeks into the trimester.</p>
<p>What’s new this year is that the basic meal plan would be the unlimited one. So I think the only options are the additional “bucks” with guest meals. To save money, one would just eat at those dining halls all the time.
One advantage is you can just stop by to get a snack or drink instead of a full meal as you have unlimited access now.</p>
<p>Thanks so much for the information. I see now that I was reading information for 2013-2014 and it has changed. Unlimited will make things easier. For those interested, you can find the 2014 information on the website.</p>
<p>I learn about this during the Campus Day a couple weeks ago. At that time, the details was not announced yet, but then I found the information on the web last week.</p>
