The Community Dining Plan
Having a dining plan is more than just eating delicious food. When you have a dining plan, you don't have to spend time cooking and cleaning, which means more time for friends, studying, going to events, and getting involved. Our Community Dining Plan gives you a set number of meals to redeem at your convenience throughout the academic year. Click below to see if the Community Dining Plan is an excellent choice for you!
