You Asked! We Listened!
After talking with students and families and hearing feedback about how you dine on campus, we are excited to share more flexible, carefully curated meal plans starting in Fall 2026!
With increased Declining Balance and value-priced retail options, students can stretch their dining dollars further while staying connected to campus dining.
What We Heard

- Declining Balance was running out earlier than expected
- Students added additional declining balance to their meal plans throughout the semester
- Fixed meal swipes and limited meal exchanges felt restrictive
- Students wanted more control over when, where, and what they could eat
What Changed
Based on that feedback, 小黄片视频 updated its meal plan structure to better support how students actually dine.
- The 1910 Meal Plan was added to give students more opportunities to dine throughout campus.
- The Kent and 200 plans were phased out after steady declines in usage over the past few years - the 200, 100, and 50 plans had the highest increases over the past few years, and informed us to create the 1910 plan.
- The new plan shifts away from rigid meal exchanges and toward flexible, spend-anywhere dining
