<p>what exactly to the board estimate include? just a meal plan or commodore cash too? and how much if it is included?</p>
<p>I think board is the meal plan, which includes all meals plus $200 in Meal Money and around 10 extra meals if you have family or friends visit during a meal. I don’t think you can opt out of the Meal Money.
You should call the student account office for more detailed information.</p>
<p>FIRST-YEAR Meal Plan</p>
<p>Designed to support and facilitate the activity of The Commons</p>
<p>•3 Meals daily - you choose</p>
<p>•1 meal/meal period (four meal periods daily)</p>
<p>•$200 Meal Money</p>
<p>•10 Flex Meals/semester</p>
<p>(First-year students are automatically enrolled in the First-Year Meal Plan)</p>
<p>The above is from the Dining webpage. It does not include CC, but the $200 meal money is used in much the same way CC would be used (except for food items only). Upperclass meal plans have a deal where unused meals roll over & you can use the credits in vending machines, at campus minimarts, at area restaurants, etc. The first year plan doesn’t include that flexibility, as far as I can tell.</p>
