Our Vision for MIT Campus Dining
We have launched a comprehensive review of the entire on-campus dining program — from food options to facilities — to ensure students can conveniently access good food at a good value. Be part of this planning process by completing a forthcoming dining survey in late September. Your feedback will play a vital role in shaping dining on campus.
Meal Plans
Meal plans provide convenient options across campus for both undergraduate and graduate students. Choose from a variety of options that match your needs and living arrangements.
Nutrition
All meal plan holders have opportunity to meet with our on-campus registered dietitian.
By choosing MIT catering, your money stays at MIT and supports MIT programs. A portion of every dollar spent on catering through on-campus caterers is reinvested in the Institute.
