Read reviews“Elevate is the best option for a dining plan at UVA. Per meal swipe, it is cheaper than UVA meal plans, the swipes don't expire, and instead of having to plan around daily dining hall menus to get food that is okay at best, you can go to almost any restaurant on the corner and pick genuinely good food for your meal swipe.”

“I got Elevate as I began living in off-campus housing because it gave me access to local restaurants. I was hesitant at first but quickly realized how simple, convenient, and high quality the meal plan is. The selections are great, the process of ordering and picking up is very smooth, and the plan overall has greatly improved my off-campus experience. I recommend to anyone on or off campus in need consistent meals.”
