Anytime Dining Anytime Dining will go into effect Fall 2014 and replace the current meal plan system. Anytime Dining meal plans will allow unlimited, 24 hour access to the Southside and Ike’s dining halls – giving students the ability to eat multiple small meals per day and encouraging healthy eating habits. Anytime Dining will build a sense of community at George Mason University for both on and off campus students while maintaining a higher food quality. Current students will have the option to be grandfathered into the new program and keep a traditional style meal plan. All incoming freshman will have Anytime Dining.
