Dining is an integral component of campus life, and sits at the heart of Vanderbilt’s undergraduate residential experience; as such, all students residing in on-campus housing, including Greek housing, are required to participate in a meal plan based on cohort year. First-year students living on campus participate in the First-Year Meal Plan of 335 meals per semester. Second-year, third year, and fourth year students participate in the Upper-Division Meal Plan of 305 meals per semester. Meal plans are loaded onto the Commodore Card or mobile wallet and consist of a set meal allowance plus flexible meal money each semester. Second, third, and fourth-year undergraduates have the option to upgrade to the more comprehensive First Year Meal Plan. Undergraduates living off campus may purchase any of the meal plans offered to on-campus students and graduate and professional students may purchase Flex Meals online.
