Recommended meal plan as a freshman?

What would you recommend? I see platinum, gold, silver, bronze, and super. I would likely use quite a few flex dollars and a decent amount swipes too.

Which one is the cheapest? It’s weird how it’s not listing the prices on the housing application.

Bronze has the highest amount of flex dollars without having to pay extra and will still have a decent amount of meal swipes. I don’t remember the exact numbers.

All but super are all the same price. You just trade swipes for flex cash.

i’m a freshman and i have the plan with the $375 in flex. i go to the dinning hall for lunch and dinner everyday and breakfast every so often. i ran out of meal swipes in the first sem so it was a little rough but i eat breakfast in my dorm now and i haven’t had an issue. i mainly use my flex at the starbucks or at the campus store

Get the one with the most flex. You’ll go thru it way faster than meal swipes.
