A note for all Freshman:

As we prepare for the 2010-2011 school year, we want to keep you informed about the latest updates to the Residence Hall and Meal Plan Application. The current "Freshman Freedom" plan incorrectly lists the available Flex Spending amount as $500. The correct amount of Flex Spending allotted with the Freshman Freedom plan is $350. Please note that this does not change the overall price of this meal plan. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience that this might have caused. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Dining Services at 716-878-5152.

In order to meet your campus dining needs, we have designed the following meal plans for the 2010-2011 academic year. Questions? Call 716-878-5152 or 716-878-5153
