Your First-Year Meal Plan

Let’s start strong and keep it simple

Food is the fuel that will empower you to do great things at Tufts. Let’s make sure your first-year meal plan gives you all the fresh, tasty, nutritious fuel you need.

Okay, first-year undergrad, here’s the plan

If you’re a first-year AS&E undergraduate, a Combined Degree (SMFA/NEC) student, or a first-year SMFA BFA student living on the Medford/Somerville campus, you’re auto-enrolled in the Premium Plan. If you're a first-year SMFA BFA student living on the SMFA Boston Campus, you are auto-enrolled in the SMFA A Plan.

You don’t have to do anything else to sign up. You’re in. (Hey, you just gained some free time. Why don’t you go play Quidditch on the Quad or something?)

It's on your ID. Your meal plan will be connected to your Tufts ID. Use your ID card to swipe-in to our dining centers, use your meal equivalency at retail cafés, or even do laundry on campus with JumboCash!

What if you’re a grad student?

You can choose from a variety of student plans as well as two Graduate 25 Meal options. Pick your plan now.

3 reasons to love your plan

So convenient

Your money’s loaded right on your Tufts ID card, ready to use all over campus. With so many locations, including some with extended hours, you can eat when and where you want. You never have to go out of your way to get a terrific meal.

So much variety

Everything from Mom’s apple pie to Ph̀x’s pad thai. Gluten-free, plant-based, tree nut-free, halal, kosher...you name it, we serve it. You could eat three times a day with us for, well, a long time and never repeat a meal!

So deliciously complete

With 400 swipes plus $75 per semester pre-loaded on your card, you’ll be set for three mouthwatering meals a day throughout your first year. That means less time worrying about food, and more time figuring out how to change the world. Which, after all, is why you’re coming to Tufts, right?
