While there are a variety of meal plans offered, the traditional plan with the most value is the All Access 400.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EThe All Access 400 meal plan delivers by far the most value for the money. For only $240 more than the All Access plan, the All Access 400 provides students $400 (tax-free) to use at any Georgia Tech Dining Services locations. This meal plan also offers a great deal of flexibility in terms of where a student can eat on campus. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EOther great meal plans to consider are the Ramblin\u00e2\u0080\u0099 400 and Ramblin\u00e2\u0080\u0099 200. As a student purchases meals throughout the semester, the dollar amount on these plans decline. Plus, students receive a $75 and $25 gift card, respectively, do not have to pay the 8 percent sales tax on meal purchases, and are offered a discount of 10 percent off the door price at any of the dining halls. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003E\u00e2\u0080\u009cWe have found that many of our upperclassmen and graduate students use the Ramblin\u0027 400 and Ramblin\u0027 200 meal plans as a budget for how much food they allow themselves to purchase on campus per semester. Once the money is gone, they either chose not to spend any more, or they buy another Ramblin\u00e2\u0080\u0099 plan. Unlike other traditional meal plans these can be purchased until the middle of March,\u00e2\u0080\u009d says Dori Martin, district marketing manager, Georgia Tech Dining Services. \n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EWe encourage you and your students to review all rules, regulations and details in regards to each meal plan to select the one that best fits your students\u00e2\u0080\u0099 needs.
