Meal Plan
In an effort to ensure that students receive
options for proper daily nutritional
requirements, Pratt Institute offers its
students a number of meal plans. The meal
plans are designed on a debit card system; the
student’s meal plan points decrease as he or
she purchases items in the main dining room,
convenience store, or pizza shop. A meal plan
point equals $1.
All students living in rooms without
kitchens and all freshmen, regardless
of their assignment, are automatically
enrolled in the minimum mandatory
meal plan. This meal plan is in effect for
both semesters and provides the student
the purchasing power of roughly 14 meals
per week. Students may opt for a larger
plan that offers additional purchasing
power of roughly 19 meals per week. The
cost of meals does not include incidental
purchases students may make at the
convenience store. The mandatory meal
plan rates for 2012–13 are $1,600 and
$1,890 per semester.
* Graduate students, in most cases, have a 12-month
contract.
