Would a college meal plan or cooking be healthier and cheaper?

[whatsername]

I have been working on losing weight and eating healthy so I was wondering which would be healthier. Should I get a meal plan when I go to a university, or should I cook for myself. Money is an issue so I was basically wondering the cheapest way to eat healthy in college?

cooking yourself can be healthier. this depends on the college you go to, but it's almost always significantly cheaper to use a meal plan.

No way.. They're expensive at least in my college.

yeah I have noticed that it was pretty expensive, but I never knew what kind of food it was. I assumed it would be better to just cook lol

It's better to cook for yourself... It's cheaper and you can have a control of what goes in it.

Compared with going to restaurants? They are more expensive.
Compared with cooking by yourself? They are cheaper.
