WHICH MEAL PLAN SHOULD I CHOOSE? First-year resident students can select the Revolutionary, Patriot, Jefferson or Liberty meal plan. However, the Patriot Plan is highly recommended for the first semester to make it easier for first year residents to familiarize themselves with campus life. Meal plans can be changed from semester to semester by submitting a request to Residence Life.

WHAT IF I RUN OUT OF MEAL PLAN MONEY? Additional funds can easily be added online at rmu.edu/colonialcash.

ARE THERE MEAL PLAN OPTIONS IF I DO NOT LIVE ON CAMPUS? Yes. An off-campus student is eligible to purchase any meal plan that meets their needs. A commuter plan is also available and is a good choice for the student who occasionally dines on campus and wants the convenience of using their Freedom Card and saving the 7% sales tax.

Center Bistro, where you’ll find delicious burgers, hot dogs, chicken and more.

BECAUSE GOOD FOOD SHOULD BE GOOD FOR YOU TOO.

RMU Dining Services’ Food Gold Standards ensure that we provide only the freshest and most nutritious meals.
