The Market Place Concept
Walk into one of our Market Places and you'll notice a lively, welcoming atmosphere where students come not only to eat, but to socialize and relax. The Market Place concept invites students to roam through the many food stations, choosing from an abundant assortment of foods. Every day, we feature a wide variety of wholesome, healthy and tasty foods available on an "all you care to eat basis." And because the Market Places offer continuous weekday service from 6:45am to 8:00pm Monday through Thursday and until 7:00pm on Friday (as well as weekend hours), students will never miss meals because of class scheduling.

Meal Plans
All housing contracts must include room and board, with the exception of returning residents in rooms with a University supplied kitchen. Residential Dining offers different meal plans to meet the needs of every student. Don't do breakfast? You can chose a 14 meals per week plan. Definitely a three-squares-a-day person? The full board plan should satisfy you. Live off-campus or in on-campus housing with a kitchen and want to avoid shopping, cooking and doing dishes ? We have a plan for you, too!
Meal Plans are a GREAT Value!
