<p>Which meal plan is best? Do people who get the most expensive plan have a bunch of points left over? </p>
<p>Also, is the cost of the meal plan included in the overall cost of attendance? I assume it should be, but can't find anything that specifically states it.</p>
<p>The meal plan is a part of your tuition bill.</p>
<p>Which plan you get depends on your eating habits. I’ve always chosen the ultimate plan (I think that’s what it’s called); more points and more flex passes = getting to eat at the Union, cafes, and grab ‘n’ gos much more often. The 200 points you get with the value plan seems like it’s not nearly enough; I go through that in a month and a half, maximum. 500 (and the flex passes) are much more reasonable.</p>
<p>Keep in mind this is my personal experience; there are also people that get the other plan because they don’t utilize the Union/cafes/grab n gos as much. You should probably get the ultimate plan, at least for your first year. Better to have a lot of points than run out and wish you’d gone with the other plan.</p>
