Meal Plan Information

Welcome

As the residence hall student’s primary dining location, the New CSB Gorecki Center is the “kitchen” of the CSB campus community. As in most American homes today, the kitchen is the heart of a home where families congregate and discuss important issues of the day.

We encourage our students to dine, relax and gather with friends at the CSB Gorecki Center thus promoting a feeling of campus community. Dining at the CSB Gorecki Center provides students with the best value for their food dollars (Bennie Bucks).

Each student must have a valid CSB/SJU ID to enter any campus dining facility. If you have lost your Campus ID, contact the CSB Security Office.

STUDENTS LIVING IN RESIDENCE HALLS

The College of Saint Benedict requires all CSB students residing in residence halls to have a meal plan. All students living in a residence hall will automatically be assigned the Bennie Continuous Meal Plan for fall and spring semesters.

Note: Pricing reflects the 2007 school year.

First-year students will be required to remain on this plan.

Upperclass students living in a Residence Hall have the option to change their meal plan to the Blazer Continuous Pass Meal Plan. Changes will be accepted through the first 2 weeks of each semester. If you are an upperclass student and would like to change your meal plan, stop in at our Main office located in the lower level of Gorecki Center or email your request to bgrelson@csbsju.edu.
