Meal Plans and Rates

K-State's on-campus food has once again landed in the Top 20 nationwide. The Princeton Review's " The Best 390 Colleges " has ranked K-State's campus food at No. 14 in its 2025 issue. It's pretty rare for campus meals to be made from scratch on location. The quality and convenience of Housing and Dining Services' dining centers make a meal plan smart for all K-Staters; not just on-campus residents. We offer meal plans for Jardine Apartments residents, off-campus students and K-State faculty and staff. You can eat at the Derby, Kramer or Van Zile dining centers, all of which are just a few minutes from either side of campus. The Derby and Kramer dining centers are "all you care to eat," and offer a diverse selection of meal options to choose from daily. The Van Zile dining center offers flexibility for On-The-Go, Sunday evening meals and more.

Dining center hours and menus are available to be viewed at any time. We do not serve a Sunday dinner meal in the Derby or Kramer dining centers.
