Are you a first year student? We recommend that you select the 150 Block Meal Plan until you are familiar with campus life and your class routine. Any Block Meal Plan is a great buy. Just compare the cost of one of our meals to eating off-campus and you’ll see the difference.You’ll be able to spend your meal block the way you want to because with these plans, you don’t have a meal quota each week.
Friends or relatives visiting? Use your Block Meal Plan to treat your guests to a meal at Stimson, Heubeck or in Kosher anytime they are on campus during the semester.
*Note: Certain special meal events may be excluded.
A busy schedule should never be the reason to miss a great meal. Take a look at the variety of block plans available and select the Plan that suits your lifestyle, schedule and eating habits—then, enjoy your new-found freedom.
