Meal Plan

The YCMP2 meal plan for graduate students includes 25 swipes into the dining commons. It’s a large price up-front ($265) but if you get it in the first few weeks of the semester, they include 2 free swipes (expect emails announcing it), which brings the price down to <$10 per swipe (comparatively a great price, especially considering the quantity/quality of food available). You can purchase your meal plan through SPIRE. More details about YCMP2 here.

Some advantages of purchasing a meal plan:

• High-quality food (#1 campus dining in the US)
• Allergy/vegan/vegetarian-friendly
• You’ll always get way more food than if you went to a restaurant, probably for less money
• You can stay there and work through two meals
• They’re open until midnight and on weekends
• You can use your swipes for other people
• The swipes don’t expire, even after you graduate
