MEAL PLANS
College life can be challenging, but dining should be effortless. That's why all students living on campus are required to participate in a meal plan.
Meal plans are an important part of a student’s lifestyle, whether you are an incoming first-year student a returning upperclassman or a commuter student. Our goal is to match each and every student with the perfect meal plan that meets and exceeds their expectations.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
May I take food or drink out of the dining hall?
If you are interested in taking your meals to go, you may purchase our Green to Go reusable container for the one-time price of $5. After swiping into the dining hall, you can fill your three-compartment container with your favorite menu items before taking it to go. When you're done, simply return your empty container to the dining hall for a clean one or a token to get a new container later!
May I bring a guest with me into the dining hall?
Yes, if you would like to bring a guest, you may use your three guest swipes per semester, your BC Bucks, or pay with cash/credit card.
How does the resident meal plan work?
Your resident meal plan grants you unlimited access to the Main Dining Hall anytime during the hours of operation. You must swipe your student ID each time to enter. Enjoy the flexibility to stop by for a full meal or quick snack as many times as you like throughout the day.
