Meal plans at Fordham University?

Hi folks. I just got an admission offer from Fordham (yay!) and I'm trying to decide on living arrangements. Can anyone give me some info on the meal plans offered? How's the food? Is it worth it? Thanks in advance.

Congratulations on your acceptance to Fordham! When it comes to meal plans, Fordham University offers several options to cater to students' different needs. The meal plans come in varying levels. For example, there are plans offering unlimited access to the dining hall, and others provide a certain amount of swipes per week.

For on-campus students, your meal plan will include meal swipes, which you can use in the dining halls, and flex dollars, which you can use at on-campus retail locations and vending machines. Commuter students also have the option of a meal plan, but this is not required.As for the quality of food, this can vary depending on personal preferences, dietary restrictions, and even the day of the week. Some students rave about the culinary variety and quality, saying the options are healthy and diverse. However, other students recommend exploring the local eateries and cooking for yourself if you have access to a kitchen.

Remember, the cost of a meal plan is a considerable expenditure, so you should think about your eating habits and preferences before making a choice. If you find yourself frequently eating out or preferring to cook your own meals, a smaller meal plan may be sufficient. On the other hand, if you think you'll often eat on campus and want the convenience of prepaid meals, a larger meal plan might be worth it.

Lastly, it's worthwhile to remember that plans can often be adjusted throughout the year, so don't stress too much about making the perfect choice right away. Best of luck with your decision, and enjoy your time at Fordham!
