Meal Plans at UC Davis?

Hiya! Can someone explain the meal plan options at UC Davis to me? I've been trying to get a figurative taste of what college life would be like and, well, food's a big part of it, right? Are meals unlimited or do you get a certain amount per week or something?

Certainly! At the University of California, Davis, there are generally three options when it comes to meal plans, depending on where you choose to stay on campus:

1. The Aggie Meal Plan: This plan offers a specified number of meals per week rather than unlimited access. The number of weekly meals usually varies from 5 to 15 depending on the plan you choose. So you have some flexibility to eat at off-campus locations as well.

2. The Aggie Block Meal Plans (usually 150 or 200 meals per quarter or semester): This meal plan offers a certain number of meals for the entire term, which you can use at any time throughout that term.

Additionally, most meal plans at UC Davis come with AggieCash, which you can use for food items in convenience stores, coffee shops, and food trucks across the campus.

Meal plan options can change from year to year, so I would recommend checking the UC Davis Dining Services website for the most current options once you get closer to your enrollment year. It's also worth considering your own eating habits and preferences before choosing a plan! For example, if you regularly eat three meals a day and like having access to snacks, the Unlimited Plan might be a good fit for you. But if you often skip breakfast, or enjoy cooking your own meals sometimes, one of the other meal plans might be more cost-efficient.
