Summer Meal Plan
Should I get a college meal plan?
I’m going back and live at an on campus apartment with 2 other roomates. This is going to be my 4th semester, and the only time I had a meal plan was the 1st 2 semesters (I didn’t have a job that 1st year), so the meal plan was very helpful (I always had food).
I’ve been working all summer but I may b in predicament where I’m not sure if I’ll have a job when I get back. But I’m also getting a refund that’s about the cost of the smallest meal plan (a little over $1000). I’m not sure if I should use my refund money towards food or just get the plan. When I did have it, I think I gained a lot of weight from the food. Seemed like everyone in the cafeteria (skinny or not had love handles!). I don’t want to gain weight, and my only school days are Monday & Weds. But without one, I didn’t like cooking all the time, or a roomate would walk by and of course you have to offer some. I don’t know what to do.
Can you get a small meal plan, like 5 meals a week? That way, you don’t have to cook all of the time, but you don’t eat too much on campus.
You don’t have to offer people food simply for walking past your room. You’re in college, it’s not expected that you have tons of food sitting around waiting to be offered. When I visit my friend’s dorms, I don’t expect them to feed me. If anything, I will ask where the water fountain is (or if it’s an apartment, I will ask for a cup for water). But unless I specifically showed up at their dorm to eat, an expectation of food is too much.
