Thanks again for the replies and input.

Thats awesome. Its nice to know that there are people out there that do keep their commitments.

I can't say this is true everywhere but at my college if you lived on campus, i.e. in the dorms, you were REQUIRED to buy a meal plan that had 3 meals a day on it.  When I complained I was told that since we didn't have a kitchen in our rooms the college wanted to be assured we had the option to eat 3 meals a day.  Moving off campus actually saved me money!

The unlimited plan is worth its price to an athlete. The calories needed per day is astronomical.  They dont have time to cook. Even when son moved off campus he had it. Some of the real big programs have training tables during season, its paid for by the athletic dept and covers sll of their meals. This was offered at UF. 

The meal plan is chosen last when paying for your bill and usually that is not covered by any scholatship, unless they have s training table program.
