Here’s how meal plan costs at Syracuse University compare to meal plan costs at SU’s peer institutions

At SU, students living in residence halls on North and South campuses and those living in the Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel and Conference Center are required to purchase a meal plan.

The most expensive meal plan provided to students by Syracuse University costs more than all of the most expensive meal plans provided by at least 13 of SU’s 16 peer institutions. Three of SU’s peer institutions — Marquette University, Northwestern University and the University of Notre Dame — did not provide sufficient information on their websites to effectively compare the costs of their meal plans to those at SU.

Meal plan requirements and accessibility differed among SU and its peer institutions. At SU, all students living in residence halls on North and South campuses and those living in the Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel and Conference Center are required to purchase one of the four meal plans available to them. Some of SU’s peer institutions require only first-year students to purchase a meal plan, while others require first-, second- and third-year students to do so.
