Only know one? Fill in whichever you have — the other can stay a rough estimate and you can edit it later from Profile in the header. Leave both blank to skip the dining plan entirely.

Post a Listing

Swipes can only be transferred by swiping the other person in together, so pick a dining hall and a time window to meet (at least 15 minutes).

Your school email () is shown to other students automatically — no contact info to enter.

Repost Listing

The meeting window passed before anyone claimed this listing. Pick a new time and it'll go live again — defaults to the same time tomorrow.

What LionSwipe Does

LionSwipe helps Columbia students get more out of their meal plan. It shows real Columbia dining hall menus and tracks your dining swipes, eating-out spending, and grocery spending so you always know where you stand for the semester.

What Info We Ask For

To track your plan, we ask how many swipes your meal plan has and when your semester starts and ends (or you can pick a preset plan). From there you just log dining hall swipes, eating-out purchases, and grocery purchases as you go, and you can optionally set an eating-out budget and a grocery budget, each by day, week, month, or semester. You can use LionSwipe as a guest with no sign-up — your data stays in your browser until you create an account, at which point we offer to migrate it over.

The Problem We're Solving

It's easy to lose track of how many meal swipes you have left, overspend on food without noticing, and not know what's actually on the dining hall menu until you're standing in line. LionSwipe puts real menus and a running tally of swipes and spending in one place, so you can make quick, informed food decisions.
