Campus Eats

To ensure the student population does not go hungry, the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa mandated that students living on-campus have meal plans. Terms like meal swipes, points, Hale Aloha Café and Gateway Café will get thrown at you, and may not make sense at first. Rest assured, we’ve got you covered. Here is a rundown of meal plans at UH Manoa.

Is It Worth It?

During your college years, you may find yourself with barely enough time to go to the dining hall to eat. Use this first year to find the best option for the future - smaller meal plan or maybe a bigger one. Though meal plans can be costly, they can be easy and convenient for those living on campus. Spend your meals, keep track of your points and eat your fill.

Locations

If you want to avoid spending cash, eat at the resident dining halls, Ba-Le, the Campus Center Food Court, Starbucks, Jamba, and The Market. These locations accept your points as a form of payment. The best value is a resident dining hall.

Points

Each semester you are given a certain number of points ranging from 100 to 250, depending on which meal plan you get. A point is worth a dollar. Use points to pay the difference between one meal swipe and the full cost of your meal at a retail location. Points roll over from the fall to spring semester and expire at the end of the academic year. If you are running low on points you can add money in the form of Dining Dollars to your UH ID to use like a debit card at Resident Dining Halls and Retail Locations.

Meals

Initially, the most confusing thing about a plan is the difference between meals and points. Each week, depending on your meal plan, you have 7 to 19 meals a week. Using a meal swipe at one of the resident dining halls, Hale Aloha Café or Gateway Café, will get you into an all-you-care-to-eat buffet. Using a meal swipe at a retail location will give you $5.50 cash value. Weekly meals begin on Sunday and expire every Saturday at midnight.

There are other food options available throughout the Manoa campus, although they don’t accept meal plans. They’re just as tasty and nutritional but you will need cash or card.
