Beginning in the fall, these food staples in most college diets might be a thing of the past. Mississippi State freshmen beginning next fall will have to purchase a meal plan. MSU is the last state public university to implement a mandatory meal plan.
Beginning in the fall, all incoming freshmen will be required to live on campus, which officials hope will help to keep more students enrolled at the university. The meal plan just seems to go hand in hand with this mandate. The meal plan will cost about $1,150 per student per semester.
MSU is in a 10 year contract with Aramark who will oversee the operation of the cafeteria. Aramark took over the cafeteria this year. MSU hopes by contracting this out that the cafeteria might actually make a profit instead of at a loss. Aramark will invest around $5 million in cafeteria upgrades.
The meal plan will have options for students like choosing how many meals in the cafeteria a semester with an additional allowance to eat at the other Aramark outlets on campus.
