Menlo-area real estate guidance
The short answer
Yes. The required residential meal plan is included in Menlo's room-and-board charge.
Is the meal plan included in the housing rate or charged separately?
Menlo states that meals are included in room and board and that meal plans are required for residential students. The standard published housing package includes 18 meals per week plus $120 in flex dollars.
Is a meal plan required if my student lives in a Menlo College residence hall?
Menlo's Housing & Dining and Tuition & Fees pages state that meal plans are required for residential students, and the 2026–27 handbook says residential students are automatically enrolled when they apply for housing.
