If you live on campus, you can choose the meal plan and campus food that works best for your schedule: either a 235 block + $200 flex dollars or a 300 block + $200flex plan.  If you're a commuter and it's more convenient to eat and grab food on campus, several meal plans are available to you.

All meals are preloaded on your ID card, so all you have to do is swipe — saving you time and money. All meal plans are accepted for all you care to eat at the Thomas More Dining Hall- each entry is one "block". Additional on-campus eateries include: Student's Choice, The Market, and Einstein Bros. Bagels. With the meal plan, the options are endless — even for those who have food allergies. The University dining hall has items for those who have to avoid certain allergens so there really is something for everyone. Plus, the dining hall is supported by an award-winning culinary team, which makes flavorful food options to sustain your body and mind. Visit the Dining Services website for more information on menus and catering services.
