Food On-Campus

First year students are required to take on either a 5 Day or 7 Day Unlimited meal plan if they choose to reside in on campus housing. University Housing assigns meal plans for first year students, but any classification on or off campus may purchase a separate meal plan through the Aramark Offices in KUC Room 202 or by emailing [email protected]. More information on the available plans can also be found on their website at https://mtsu.campusdish.com/MealPlans

On-Campus food options can be found here, which include dining halls, convenience stores, food courts, and coffee shops.
