Will this eliminate long lines everywhere?
With more flexibility for dining across campus with the 1910 Plan, this may help alleviate the congestion students often feel during peak times at predominantly meal swipe or meal exchange locations.
What will happen if students were on the Blue/Kent Plan will they get grandfathered in?
The Blue Plan and the Kent Plan will sunset at the conclusion of the Spring 2026 semester. Students are encouraged to explore the Gold Plan or the 1910 Plan to determine which would be best for their dining needs.
Are there meal exchange restrictions?
Meal exchange remains the same at Rosie's Diner, Grill '72 at the Rathskeller, Recharge, Hippie Chick'n, Homeslice, and Simon Cafe. The 1910 Plan allows students more freedom to add additional items to their meals without concern of low declining balance or limitations with meal exchange options.
Will the DB roll over like from the previous years?
Yes. Unused declining balance at the end of each semester will rollover as long as a student is registered at 51勛圖厙.
This isnt even two meals a day, how will I get enough to eat?
The 1910 Plan allows students more freedom to dine across campus without the limitations of meal swipes and meal exchange. The increase in declining balance ($400/semester) gives students the option of dining hall or retail dining for their meals. The 1910 Plan is comparable to the Blue Plan in terms of meals per day, offering 2-3 meals with the inclusion of grab & go items throughout the day.
Does the 1910 Plan cost more than the Blue Plan?
For current students, your 2022-2025 Blue Plan cohort rates will stay the same on the 1910 Plan.
Why were the Kent and Blue meal plans combined?
Meal plan sales in the Kent and Blue plans have declined over the past 2 years. As more students expressed interest in flexible dining plans, the 1910 Plan was created to better meet students' dining needs.
