Meal Plan Transition

You’ve asked, and now University Housing is delivering. We’re redefining dining on campus. New meal plans. More access. Better options. Same great food. Only on campus.

Meal Plan Options for Undergraduate Halls
Fall 2008 – 2009

Anytime access means we’re there for you, no matter what your schedule.

• Platinum Plan – Anytime dining access, eight guest meal passes and $300 per semester in Spartan Cash
• Gold Plan – Anytime dining access, four guest meal passes and $150 per semester in Spartan Cash
• Silver Plan – Anytime dining access Monday - Sunday

More Hours!

University Housing offers dining services from 7 am – midnight, seven days a week. One accessible dining facility is open late in each part of campus: Brody, Wilson, Landon, Holmes and The Gallery in the Red Cedar Complex. Students have been asking for a Sunday night meal option and longer hours and we’re pleased to provide this service.

Grab & Go!

There may be times when class schedules are so tight that students cannot make it into a dining hall. For those situations, we have grab & go options available once per day:

• Totally Takeout Express – Located in Brody, Landon, McDonel and Wilson allows students to grab a lunch on the go consisting of a sub or entrée salad, chips, fruit, cookie and beverage. Open weekdays 9am-2pm.
• Totally Takeout – Located in Shaw Hall in the heart of campus, offers a wider variety of grab and go selections with extended hours weekdays from 9 am - 9 pm.

Snyder/Phillips - A New Concept In Dining

The Gallery is an innovative blending of a residential all-you-care-to-eat and a la carte service. It will be a destination where people come to seek refreshment, meet friends, stop to study, read a book or a newspaper, or drop by for a freshly-prepared meal in a comfortable, lively atmosphere.

• The Berg is designed to visually create a cold, fresh oasis of produce, made-to-order entrée salads, and a wide variety of other accompaniments including locally grown and/or organic produce. The Berg will be complemented by an adjacent soup and bakery area.
• Bliss will feature tempting pastries, pies and cakes, as well as an array of specialty desserts finished in view of the customer. The house specialty bread pudding and MSU Dairy ice cream will tantalize you into leaving room for dessert.
• Brimstone Grille will display a freshly prepared selection of burgers, chicken sandwiches and grill-to-order items from BLTs to Ahi tuna sandwiches and everything in between.
• Ciao! will feature a variety of pizzas by the slice, subs and oven-baked sandwiches made with freshly finished baked breads and buns, available late into the evening.
• Latitudes presents authentic ethnic menu items with emphasis on global trends such as Asian, Thai, Middle Eastern, Cuban and Southwestern. Prepared as you wait, your entrée will sizzle to perfection using flexible cooking systems and woks.
• New Traditions features prepared contemporary entrées, carved meats, daily vegetarian selections and sides for a complete meal, with exhibition cooking for that added flair.

More Fun

Take a guest to dinner (or any other meal) anytime you’d like. The Gold & Platinum Plans includes guest meal passes for you to use so you don’t have to fork over extra cash…can you say “cheap date?” It's easy when you & your guest approach the dining host, just let them know to swipe one of your guest meal accesses. If you have a meal plan without guest access, your guest will be able to purchase a meal pass at the dining room entrance with Spartan Cash, credit card or cash.

More Spartan Cash

Choose the new Platinum Plan and you’ll have $300 Spartan Cash deposited into your account each semester. We’re adding new vendors – both on and off campus – all the time to the Spartan Cash program, so if you’ve got a hankering for something special, you can order it with no additional out-of-pocket costs. You can also add Spartan Cash to other meal plans at any time at www.spartancash.com.
