When choosing your plan, select one closest to your estimated needs without exceeding them. Additional funds can be deposited throughout the semester with unused funds carrying over so you never lose them. When choosing a plan, consider how often you will eat in the cafeteria (food cost only) and other dining locations where you pay full price. Where you dine is the most important factor besides frequency. Remember, dining in the cafeteria is the most economical use of the dining plan.
