HOW TO SELECT A MEAL PLAN BUFFALO STATE STUDENTS AT CANISIUS COLLEGE STEP 1: CHOOSING THE RIGHT MEAL PLAN! • Identify how much time you will be spending on Buffalo State’s campus and choose a meal plan which fits with your personal eating habits. EXAMPLE: o I will be attending class 3 days per week. My class schedule is 9am – 6pm on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. With 16 weeks in the Fall 2014 semester, I will be on campus 48 days. I personally like to sit down and have a meal once per day, while I am usually on the go and prefer quick service meals once or twice a day. o The meal plan which fits my lifestyle best is: Flex Plus 50. This meal plan has 50 block meals to use at my discretion over the course of the semester as well as $1,000 in Dining Dollars for me to utilize at the on campus restaurants like Subway, Spot Coffee and Salsarita’s.
