Hall Types, Room Types, and Meal Plans

Meal Plan Options for Returning Students
In conjunction with the opening of the new Hill Dining Center next fall, we will be offering new meal plans based on extensive input collected from students through surveys and focus groups over the past year. Details about the new meal plans will be provided before the end of the term. Returning students will have the option of selecting from any of the new meal plans or two of our most popular plans—the Any 9 or the Any 13. Other existing meal plans—the Any 18 and 135 Plan—will be discontinued. As in prior years, your contract will automatically include the Any 13 meal plan and you will have the opportunity to change meal plans during the first month of the Fall Term.

New Meal Plans Coming Soon!
For new and returning students, we expect to offer one or more block plans that will offer a set number of meals per term, as well as one or more new unlimited plans that allow students to eat in the residential dining rooms as often as they like. The features of these plans will be somewhat different from existing block and unlimited plans. We are now in the process of refining the new meal plans and expect to complete our review and provide more information in early March.
