Being part of a meal plan enables students to enjoy the variety of delicious food and atmosphere offered by Princeton Campus Dining. It is a stable and comfortable way to socialize on campus.
Meal Plan Benefits
Community
Our dining halls aren’t just a place to grab food, they are a key part of the residential college experience. Our meal plans are designed to support community-building, enable meaningful interactions with all members of the college community, and provide an environment where students can experience other cultures through food and camaraderie.
Diverse Food Options
Our award-winning dining program provides an inclusive dining experience to meet a wide range of dietary needs and concerns. Each dining hall features its own chef and culinary experts who create menus that reflect flavors from around the globe while also incorporating the freshest ingredients from local partners.
Programs & Events
As meal plan holders, students have access to year-round array of themed dinners, informative health and wellness pop-ups, innovative chef’s tables where they will have the opportunity to meet our chefs, and much more.
Flexibility & Convenience
Students with a meal plan have the option to go to any of the nine residential dining halls – not just their own. On days when students don’t have the time to sit down and eat, there is Lunch to Go. Also, students receive 10 guest meals each semester so they can share the dining hall experience with their friends and families.
Wellness, Nutrition, and Dietary Accommodations
We’re committed to providing a dining experience that meets the wide range of dietary needs and preferences for our students. Our wellness dietitian is always available to meet students with dietary concerns as well as those with any general nutrition inquiries.
Late Meal
When students can’t eat during regular dining hours, they can use their meal plans at the Frist Campus Center for late lunch and late dinners.
Added benefit Late Meals provides a unique opportunity to socialize with your friends. Frist is already the heart of student life and with the addition of food, it becomes an exciting and engaging place to connect.
