<p>MEAL PLANS</p>
<p>-11 cub, 14 Blue, 14 Premier, 19 Gold, 19 Premier</p>
<p>-meal periods: 7a-11a, 11a-5p, 5p-10p, 10p-12a, 12a-2a.</p>
<p>-14P and 19P gives you all your meals for the quarter and lets you swipe multiple times per dining period (so you can swipe friends in to the dining halls or get a sandwich and a smoothie at bruin cafe, etc)</p>
<p>-11C, 14B, 19G gives you swipes for the week (11 or 14 or 19). you can swipe once per meal period only.</p>
<p>-most people have 14P or 14B. if anticipate going home every weekend, think about 11C or 14P. if you plan on being here all the time or mostly all the time, 14B will be best and cheapest, though you can upgrade to 14P if you want more flexibility. </p>
<p>if you are a true morning person and will wake up for breakfast every day even if you have like 10, 11, 12 o’clock classes, then get 19G/19P. i’d recommend 19P if you’re thinking about getting 19 meals, because it will be easier to use ones that you miss (and you’ll probably miss a lot)…</p>
<p>thanks 
:)</p>
<p>my pleasure! : )</p>
<p>ucla food is amazing…I’ll eat at ucla any day before a restaurant! :)</p>
<p>Really??? I have never had the food there…sooo i’ll just have to wait and find out for myself.
I’m stuck between the 14 premier and the 19 premier…
wonder if 19 is really necessary…?</p>
<p>If you have people visiting you who arnt Bruins I would go for 19, that way you can swipe them in since you’ll have extra swipes.</p>
<p>I think i will go 19P because it is only an extra $200 for the extra 5 meals a week throughout the entire year if I understand right. This seems like a really good deal. Then I get get all the smoothees and coffee I want for those long study nights!!</p>
<p>the 19 gold seems like an awesome deal, although i doubt id eat 19 meals a week. is the additional 315 for the gold for all 3 semesters or each semester?</p>
<p>I’m thinking about the 19P BUT I don’t wanna end up eating a bunch of food so I don’t waste my extra meals…
I doubt I’ll actually need to eat that much, even though I might want to lol</p>
<p>i seem to be the only one struggling to figure out how i will survive with only 19 meals a week lol…</p>
<p>I want to get 14p, but I think I’ll stick to 14 blue. If I have 14p, I’ll be tempted to use all of them and then I’ll gain the freshman 15 :/</p>
<p>I’m going to get the 11. I’m probably going home on the weekends. Also, they let you upgrade anytime, you just have to pay the extra plus the $25 fine. But to downgrade, you still pay the fine and you can only do it it before each quarter.</p>
<p>Anybody think getting a meal plan would make sense for someone off campus? I was thinking of getting the 11. Then again 2 meals/weekday seems excessive. I wish they had a smaller option. Something like 5.</p>
<p>They do have a 5 option for off campus. its called the 5 meal off campus meal plan. If my CAR doesnt go through thats what Im going to get.</p>
<p>So let’s say lunch goes on from 12-4 and I have the 14p plan. Could I swipe into a dining hall at 12, and then again at 3:30 for the cost of one swipe?</p>

I have the same question as @arcadefire1027
@yellowmamba45 The P means that you can use them any time and as many at a time that you want. The time periods are only for non P meal plans. They can only swipe once per time slot. So if you have 14P and you swipe it at 12 and 330= 2 meals.
@History2Law so then you would be left with 12 meals?
Yep. The P give you flexibility to use them whenever you want. I believe you get all the meals at the beginning of the quarter and you can use them any time you want and as many as you want. The non p give you X amount a week and the unused ones are gone at the end of the week.
