<p>My friends and I are applying for college 10 Apartments. I was just wondering whether to get a meal plan or no meal plan at all. Which one is cheaper?</p>
<p>If you live on campus, you are REQUIRED to get a meal plan. The only option you have is whether to get the block plan (55 meals/quarter) or the 5/7 day a week plan. Deciding between the two is really a matter of how much you think you’ll be going to the dining hall. I live in the Crown apartments, and because I don’t really ever go to the dining hall getting the 55 meals/quarter was a better option for me. I still have the option to get a meal if I want it, but I’m also able to go to Banana Joe’s to get food and groceries and use my meals to pay for it. You can also go to Terra Fresca and Owl’s Nest, so you’re not always stuck with just the dining hall.</p>
