Meals to Go
- Busy day? Reusable to-go containers are available for meal plan holders who would like to take their meals to go instead of utilizing the dining seating area.

Meal Plans
Block Meal Plans

- Block Meal Plans offer the flexibility to use meal swipes throughout the semester. The meal plan type corresponds to the total number of meal swipes per semester (ex. Block 225 Meal Plan provides 225 meal swipes, which equates to about 14 meals per week during the semester). Your balance will decrease each time you swipe for a meal, and you can use any number of available meals per day. Please visit the meal plan webpage for additional information, including pricing details.
Any 21 Meal Plan
- Aside from Block Meal Plans, MIT Dining also offers another meal plan option, known as the Any 21 Meal Plan, which provides 21 meals per week throughout the semester. The weekly 21-meal balance resets at the beginning of each week. This meal plan option is best for students who are confident they will use all meals every day consistently throughout the semester.
