ARAMARK Dining Services and the College consulted with MCLA students to create a Meal Plan program that provides flexibility, convenience and value. The convenience of traditional "all-you-care-to-eat" meals at brunch and dinner is combined with flexibility of a la carte DB point spending for breakfast, lunch, late night in our Campus C-Store and snacks. Our quality, variety, convenience and flexibility all help to make your program dynamic.
