Hey I was wondering it students who live off campus are allowed to have dining plans or better yet should we even buy a dining plan? This year I am planning to live at the University View (which is basically kinda on campus but only like a 30 second walk from the university). I would honestly prefer to eat on campus because of the social environment but rather not eat outside of campus often due to the fact that I will not be bringing a car with me to college.
I know there’s a dining plan for student who live off campus, but I don’t know much about it.
@LustinJack12 - As far as I can tell, you can sign up for a campus meal plan if you want. Another option is a dining dollars only plan. You can see both at
Note that the prices are per semester and I think you have to sign up for both semesters, so it’s double.
Another option is to create a Terp Express account to pay for food on-campus. My D is moving into an apartment next year and I haven’t yet seen any specific plans for students living off campus.
