California State University, Monterey Bay: Is the meal plan included in the housing rate or charged separately?

By CollegeHousing.ai · Sources checked · 2026-27

DIRECT ANSWER

The meal plan is required for residence halls and North Quad suites, but it is listed as a separate dining charge rather than embedded in the room rate.

CSUMB publishes housing rates and meal-plan rates separately. Residence Halls and Pinnacles/Vineyard suites require a residential meal plan; Strawberry, Promontory and East Campus apartment residents may choose a plan voluntarily.
