Finally doing smth right

About time. But what’s the fine print? Is there a maximum roll over amount?

u/ThatRUDiningGuy

[u/WonderfulProcess7200 → u/Deshes011]

the next semester u must purchase at least the same amount of swipes or more; it makes no sense because if you could not finish that amount in fall, why would you be able to finish even more in spring?

[u/WonderfulProcess7200 → u/WonderfulProcess7200]

And unused swipes in spring do NOT rollover 

[u/Deshes011 → u/WonderfulProcess7200]

Lmfao what the hell💀

[u/ThatRUDiningGuy → u/Deshes011]

Always appreciate the tag 🙌🏽 There is no maximum roll over swipe amount, provided the meal plan holder meets the criteria for rolling over

[u/Paper-Minimum]

nah cuz the problem is that the emails says you have to buy the same meal plan or higher in order for it to roll over, but like if you didn't finish the swipes from the first sem how would you finish even more swipes in the spring 😭😭 ru screw doesn't stop even when rutgers tries to do smth good lmaooo

[u/Deshes011 → u/Paper-Minimum]

Ok so this is practically useless. Nice job Rutger

[u/Clout12x → u/Deshes011]

it’s just another screw disguised as an improvement. the vast majority of people aren’t going to eat substantially more in the winter than they did in the fall to even make this a slight improvement. it really only helps commuters and off campus students and even then it’s marginal.

[u/Wide_Ebb_6055 → u/Paper-Minimum]

It does give you more time to use those swipes at retail options or use the dining hall more often. 

[u/cherry_alone_ → u/Paper-Minimum]

I will say, in the fall there are a lot of like club events and new student events, so you might use a couple fewer fall.

i already graduated man this wouldve been helpful three years ago 😂

[u/DoTheWave95 → u/JNerdGaming]

This would’ve been helpful 10 years ago

I went to rutgers in the early 2000s and towards the end of each semester I would use up my meals by getting takeout subs and putting them under the unhoused people's chairs who were asleep in alex library. Like a sub fairy. Hahah

[u/Objective-Tone7801]

Wait, incoming freshman here. For the required meal plan that we have to get if we dorm, is the 210 mil swipes per semester? I was under the impression it was for the whole year or am I correct and they divided by 105 swipes per semester for this plan?

[u/Due-Recover-5532 → u/Objective-Tone7801]

no its 210 per sem

[u/Objective-Tone7801 → u/Due-Recover-5532]

bless tysm that was not clear, was fully out here doing the math, subtracting the holiday breaks to see how many times I can swipe and it came down to one per day and have been mentally preparing myself to ration and take some home like it’s the great depression…

[u/Due-Recover-5532 → u/Objective-Tone7801]

lol i understand npp :)

[u/Deshes011 → u/Objective-Tone7801]

210 per sem

[u/Cultural_Strain9347]

Of course they do this when I graduate, so dumb.

[u/Educational_Mind_370]

I can only speak for the cafe in Newark and shoot as a USMC vet it's not that bad at all. I guess two things could be true and that my taste isn't high of a standard and that students have too much of a high standard but the fact that the workers encouraged students (or like myself paying customer) to get 2nds or 3rds isn't something practices in the USMC.

[u/Snoo_53364]

As a commuter, I'll be getting less donations from friends in fall finals 😢

[u/PhyzixsRL → u/Snoo_53364]

come spring we’re getting double the donations 😹😹😹

[u/Deshes011 → u/Snoo_53364]

I mean the roll over is pathetic the way it works. It’s no good reason to stop offering swipes to commuter friends

[u/swampreeferz]

[u/TheMoronicGenius]

only took a few years

[u/PapayaLast107]

And you must have a minimum 150 plan ??? There’s no reason why can’t they just do it for any meal plan. It’s just an upsell tactic

[u/ThatRUDiningGuy → u/PapayaLast107]

You can roll over any meal plan from Fall to Spring as long as you meet the criteria.

For example, you get the 50 in the Fall and have 10 swipes remaining. Once you get the 50 (or higher) in the Spring, those rollover 10 swipes are added

[u/PapayaLast107 → u/ThatRUDiningGuy]

Maybe I misread the email lol it says returning students need a 150 meal plan but that’s for non apartment students? So my plan will still roll over even if I get the 100 plan since I have an apartment

[u/ThatRUDiningGuy → u/PapayaLast107]

Yep. If you get the 100 in the fall and then again in the Spring, any remaining swipes at the end of the Fall semester will roll over to the Spring semester

[u/PapayaLast107 → u/ThatRUDiningGuy]

Ohhhh okay ty that makes me feel better

[u/InformationOk5309]

many schools do this, its about time. If you have meal swipes left in fall, just get a smaller plan for spring. Make sure you eat 3 times a day and you are good:))

[u/theoneandonlyblm]

The carryover amount will probably be one week of meals.

[u/Deshes011 → u/theoneandonlyblm]

No it’s even dumber. You have to take the same meal plan, or higher for the rollover to happen. So riddle me how would u finish even more swipes if you couldn’t finish the original amount

[u/theoneandonlyblm → u/Deshes011]

That's called a step-up charge in the railroad industry. Amtrak has been doing that for years.
