Meals served in the Bates Dining room are cafeteria style with unlimited refills. Meals in the Health Food Bar, the Siegel Center and the Atrium Cafe are served à la carte, on a cash basis, and the meal plans provide a cash equivalency (by meal) in these locations.
Location hours and meal plan equivalencies are listed in the Student Handbook. All first-year resident students must participate in Meal Plan 1, Meal Plan 2 or Meal Plan 2A.
Plan 1: $2,480 per semester
