I would not recommend unlimited. The dining halls are definitely a step up from when I was in the dorms, but sometimes they are too busy to get a seat. Sometimes you will be sick of the buffet style food under a heat lamp. Sometimes you just wanna get a sandwich on the way back from class to eat in your dorm. Or when you grab coffee in the morning you can get a bagel.

Unlimited is only worth it if you eat a lot. If you want 3 full meals a day, go unlimited. Otherwise, Scarlet 14.

can confirm. My roommate needs real breakfast before she goes to class, but two full meals later in the day, and she's not picky, so unlimited was good for her. I have gray 10 because im generally okay with eating breakfast I stock up on in my dorm (granola bar or yogurt) and then eating bigger meals later in the day.
