Can you move the left over meal plan money to your flex plan? I know you can do it the other way around but I'm not sure about meal->flex. You probably can't and I have to take a loss or spend a ridiculous amount of money, but if you can let me know.

on your flex, yes. i ran out of my meal plan from first year just last month (3.5 semesters total) and it wasnt an issue. if anything id encourage it since having donuts and stuff without adding more each year is great

you lose whatever you have on your basic meal plan if you don't spend it all. freedom plan carries over to the next year though .. but for the money left on your basic plan i suggest taking friends out to eat, stocking up on things that won't expire fast, or eating the rest of your meals at expensive places like bistro/bridges. i think theres also a program where you can donate a third of your leftover basic plan towards some sort of charity or something but im not 100% sure!

sorry missed the basic plan to flex. only freedom goes to flex, but if you have stuff in the straight meal plan, take your family out to dinner or buy cake

Flex Money
If you took the large meal plan you can carry over 500 to next year and if you took the small meal plan you can take 200 over to the next year other wise all the extra money goes to waste. So use it up!
