Princeton University has announced significant changes to its meal plan structure that will directly impact upperclassmen and their dining arrangements. As part of these modifications, the university will introduce a new Block 32 meal plan specifically designed for students who are members of eating clubs or cooperative dining arrangements.
This new Block 32 option represents a substantial shift from the current system, which provides two complimentary meals per week to all upperclassmen. The change suggests a move toward a more structured and comprehensive meal plan approach for students involved in these traditional Princeton dining organizations.
Meanwhile, upperclassmen who are not affiliated with eating clubs or cooperative dining arrangements but continue to live in university housing will face new requirements. These students will be mandated to purchase one of two meal plan options: either the Unlimited plan or the Block 160 plan.
The policy changes reflect Princeton's effort to standardize dining arrangements across different student populations while maintaining the university's long-standing tradition of eating clubs. The new system appears designed to ensure that all on-campus upperclassmen have access to consistent meal services, regardless of their dining club affiliations.
