Temple offers a range of meal plans from unlimited meal swipes to five meals a week and much more. Prices run approximately between $530 and $1,800 per semester depending on your plan. See the complete breakdown of meal plan prices.

Temple has a meal plan to meet the needs of every student. For those accustomed to eating three full meals a day, the Unlimited meal plan is for you. If you tend to skip breakfast, eating only two meals a day, the Weekly 12 or Weekly 15 plan might be a better choice. Or, the Block 50 and Block 100 meal plans—each featuring a bundle of meals to use over the course of the semester—are also available for students with less predictable eating habits.

If you are a first-year student living in on-campus housing, or a transfer student residing on campus, you are required to purchase a minimum meal plan of 10 meals per week.
