Mac meal plan

Think about your residence meal plan being contained in 2 buckets. Bucket 1 is 50% of your meal plan. It is gone. Mac has it. Never to be seen again. Bucket 2 is the other 50% and what will be used to pay for your meals. Since Mac already has 50% of your meal plan money, bucket 2 will only be charged at 1/2 the amount until the other 50% is used. It is not a discount. If you don’t use all of your meal plan money, Mac keeps bucket 1 regardless. So you lose money by choosing a larger meal plan if it is not all used up by the time you leave first year res. You can add money to your account if you do run out. But whatever is left over in bucket 2 can be used until you leave Mac (graduate) but know that Mac will charge you 100% of the price. Choose wisely.
