<p>No, closer to Trailblazer, and yes, near Claire’s there were some nice spots to grab a snack or two. Also, near Shubert theatre is nice.</p>
<p>Yorkside? Both my sons reported many late night/early morning meals there…</p>
<p>I realize I wasn’t very clear in my question! I know she won’t starve, but I’m trying to get a handle on our finances for next year. We are paying for her tuition, room and board, and flights home which, quite honestly, is going to be really tough. She will work this summer and plans to pay for her books, and all her extra expenses. We were trying to make a rough estimate of what those extras might be. </p>
<p>I guess I didn’t anticipate that she might need to pay for food regularly in addition to the meal plan. </p>
<p>She is very resourceful, though, and has a good history of spending her earnings very carefully!</p>
<p>^^^ ergo, send the plastic containers, and learn to smuggle fruit out of the dining hall.</p>
<p>D1 did not spend extra money on food AT ALL last year, except for social purposes: going out with suitemates on birthdays, for example. And she loves to eat. As sgtpepper said, she often mentioned “study breaks” and other residential college sponsored late night eating events. I’m talking sushi, Indian food, etc., served in the res hall to keep the little darlings happy. No starvation happening at all.</p>
<p>We think that we do not pay very much for food in addition to the meal plan. Depending on where you live and how many times you plan to fly her home a year, the extra cost for the flights could be more significant (compared to the food). We can feel your “pain” here because we know it is tough for us to fly our child back and forth in the past few years. A year and a half ago, his trip during a holiday season (I think it was Thanksgiving) costs us like $900+. Ouch! (usually $250-$350 per round-trip) – Our situation is particularly bad because he needs to fly from a medium-sized city to another medium-sized city (Hartford). If you live in a big city, I guess the airfare should be cheaper.</p>
<p>Another expense is that at the beginning of the year, you may need to ship several boxes via UPS or FedEx, if you live very far from New Haven and do not plan to drive her there. We just spent $40 dollars to ship a large box via USPS yesterday. (He stays at Yale this summer.)</p>
<p>Sadly, we have never visited my child during the “Parent Weekend” due to the apparent reason. I heard that the cost to attend the commencement will be very high. (There will be 15000 visitors in town.) I love Omni Hotel on Temple St (due to its location) and also hate it (due to its price) at the same time.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Which res. college? I do not think my child’s res. college treat them that well ;-(</p>
<p>As I noted, the main outside food expense will be snacks and coffee, not actual meals, plus whatever one spends going out for fun.</p>
<p>The price range varies on the type of food you order:
the buttery as some said is a nuke food </p>
<p>if your daughter want to buy food in advance like snacks sodas etc. she can go to shaw’s ([Welcome</a> to Shaw’s Supermarkets](<a href=“http://www.shaws.com/]Welcome”>http://www.shaws.com/)) they will be less expensive than the other stores,and I know you can take a cart from the master’s office.</p>
<p>on Elm york and Broadway there are
Ivy noodle , A1 , York side and G-hav ( a take away will be between 5-11) for instance a turkey bacon lettuce tomato sandwinch will cost around 6$ ( I think it is 5.75$) and a medium cold Snapple will cost 2.75$</p>
<p>a slice of pizza at A is around 2-3$</p>
<p>and there are more option like ABP (that is open until 21-22 I don’t remember) , indian food.</p>
<p>Your daughter won’t be hungry:)</p>
