<p>I thinking I'm leaning more toward's zephyr's side of the argument, although turns out I got the 14 meal plan too. Huh. I'll just see how I like it when we get there. The Approaching Stanford booklet says we can switch our meal plans within the first two weeks of every quarter without a fee.</p>
<p>i got the fourteen meal plan.</p>
<p>i don't know that i'll be waking up so early if i dont have to, and you can always have like fruit and bagels or whatever in your dorm room for breakfast, that's probably what i'll do. plus, i think that the amount of points equates to the cost of seven more meals per week so if i had to get up early and i didn't have enough meals i think you might be able to buy a meal with your points--i don't really know though.</p>
<p>I have noticed that the people in the stanford thread discuss everything. thats truely awesome. I mean, when i was choosing meal plans , i never thought of that many variables, it was almost a random choice for me, i want to exercise my capacity of adaptation.</p>
<p>In case you were curious about meal times, breakfast is served from 7:30am to 9:30am, lunch ranges from 11:30am to 1:15pm (with different start and end times depending on the place), and dinner ranges from 5pm to 8pm. On weekends, brunch is served from 10am to 1pm (no breakfast) and dinner ranges from 5pm to 7:15pm. Regardless of your eating habits at home, the vast majority of college students won't wake up in time for breakfast, so I suggest getting the 14-meal plan or the 10-meal plan if you like flexibility with dollars. Even 14 meals is often too much because of the following reasons: random free food events on campus like club meetings and company info sessions, going out with your friends on weekends, going home for weekends if you live close by, and holidays/vacations.</p>
