Block Plans with Flex Dollars

Block plans are a great way to save money and enjoy an all-you-can-eat meal at the Banyan Dining Hall. Block plans allow you to enter the Banyan Dining Hall a certain number of times each semester so that you can stop by for your favorite meals or when you don't want to cook, without the obligation of having to eat every meal here. As you look at our block plans, consider: do you come into the Banyan Dining Hall to eat more often than you thought you would? Do most of your friends eat at the Banyan Dining Hall? Would it be good to have in case you live off-campus and don't want to go home for lunch?
