MCAD recognizes the importance of healthy eating and easy access to food for academic success for students. While MCAD's residential apartments provide fully equipped kitchens, MCAD also has an on-campus cafe serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks on weekdays during the academic year. To promote healthy eating habits, resident students are required to purchase a $1,400 per semester declining balance food plan to be used in the MCAD Cafe. The plan will be charged each semester along with tuition and MCAD apartment rent.
