That is up to the student and it depends how often you eat. Both the UB Platinum and UB Gold offer 14 meals a week, that's a breakfast and dinner every day, and dining dollars for lunch and snack purchases. After the first semester you can choose to change your meal plan, so there is no need to be worried about a yearlong commitment. For more information on the specifics of all the meal plans, read here. Meal plan descriptions.
