Food to Bring to School

Whether your meal plan allows you to eat in the dining halls for every meal, you are not going to want to. Here is a list of some foods you'll want to bring along for early mornings, late nights, or snacks on the side. 

First, determine how many meals you have with your meal plan. Do you have enough to eat almost every meal in the dining halls or do you have to fend for yourself sometimes?

Second, will you get up each day for breakfast?

• No - Get some breakfast bar and juice for your room.
• Yes - You may want cereal and milk in your room or eat in the dining hall

Pack Snack Foods!
In case you missed dinner (or are having a midnight meal) you may want some microwaveable meals like Easy Mac or Digeronos personal pizzas.
Water bottles are a must or get a reusable one with a water filter
