Merrimack Dining Services offers a variety of delicious, nutritious meals that keep students energized and focused. Our unique dining program allows students to use meal swipes at nearly all campus dining locations—simply look for the meal swipe icon to enjoy diverse meal options anywhere on campus.

Our inviting spaces provide a vibrant atmosphere where students can forge friendships, join exciting dining events, explore new cuisines, and unwind after classes. This year, we’re proud to introduce a range of meal plans designed to cater to every appetite, including options for off-campus students looking to dine on campus.

With our 19 all-access meal plan, students can swipe for meals not only at our dining hall, Sparky’s Place, but also at various campus restaurants. Enjoy the flexibility of using all swipes anywhere swipes are accepted, enhancing your dining experience with convenience and choice. For the optimal dining experience, all first-year students are required to enroll in the 19 all-access meal plan for their first semester.
