With so many meal plan options and food variety on campus, there is no need to go hungry your freshman year.
Meal plans
According to BYU Dining Services, Blue Dining Dollars is the meal plan required for all Helaman Halls residents. It is available to all students. It is $975 for Summer 2012 and $1950 for Fall 2012 and Winter 2013.
Another meal plan option is Dining Dollars. This plan is available to all students. It is $250 for Summer 2012 and $500 for Fall 2012 and Winter 2013.
The Blue Dining Dollars meal plan is the best discount at The Commons, the buffet style dining located at the Cannon Center at Helaman Halls. Students with the other dining dollars still get a discount, but it is not as significant as the Blue Dining Dollars plan. Plans may be used at all BYU Dining Service locations, including vending machines, by using the student ID. The disadvantage is that any unused Dining Dollars at the end of the semester or term will be forfeited.
“Meal plans are a good way for students to transition into college life,” said Lauren Rey, the communications specialist for the Meal Plans office. “It provides them balanced meals to help them succeed in their studies.”
