Hello there! I'm considering UTD for my college and I would love to know what kind of meal plans they offer. How flexible are they? I'd appreciate any feedback or thoughts!
The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) offers a variety of meal plan options to cater to different students' needs and preferences. First, there's the "Comet 14" and "Comet 10" plan, which offers 14 and 10 meals per week respectively in the Dining Hall along with $50-$100 Dining Dollars to use in retail locations per semester. If you don't want the hassle of keeping track of meal swipes and cash, you might also go for the "Comet Unlimited" plan, which has, you guessed it, unlimited meal swipes and $50 in meal money.
For more flexibility, there’s also the "Block Plans." The "Block 50" offers 50 meals to use anytime during the semester, along with $500 Dining Dollars. The "Block 30" is similar but offers 30 meals and $300 Dining Dollars.
Remember, your meal plan choices could be influenced by where you’re living. For example, students living in Residence Halls are required to have a meal plan, while students living in apartments or off-campus can choose any meal plan or not to have one at all.
However, do verify the details before making a meal plan decision as requirements and offerings can change over time. You can reach out to the UTD Dining Services for the most accurate and up-to-date information as well. You can also explore menus on the UTD website for an idea of what eating on University of Dallas' website will be like: https://new.dineoncampus.com/utdallasdining/whats-on-the-menu.
I hope this helps you with your decision!
