Anyone figured out what their kid's meal plan costs per meal?
This year DS is a sophomore. He decided to go with a plan that gives him 5 meals per week, and the rest we buy in "flex" dollars. The cost for one semester for the 5 meals/week was $808. If I assume he gets 17 "weeks" of 5 meals, that works out to $9.50/meal. I also saw that the school was selling extra "blocks" of 25 meals for $350, which works out to $14/meal! The freshmen required 20 meal/week plan works out to $13.75/meal.
Are other colleges' meal plans this expensive?
