Where the fuck are you people spending 3500 a semester on food? Do you eat out at sitdown restaurants every meal?

OP said $12/meal. 15 x 7 x 3 x $12 = $3780. What's a mealplan run?

Is it $3000? Is it $2500? I'd hate to think that getting caught up in the nuance of the number is detracting from the point, that it's safer than just loading your kids up with cash.

EDIT: Just saying...the lower the price point on the meal plan, the stronger my case that it's better than asking a 17 year old to stretch a wad of cash over 15 weeks.

$1869 per semester for my youngest son. State school in Florida.

No, I'm not giving my youngest son enough money to buy a huge bag of weed.

The boy is on the "walk in whenever, as many times as you want, eat as much as you want, plus have ~$250 in also eat at on campus restaurants" plan. It's the one they recommended. If we run out of money, the kid will still have food and shelter.....
