Dining halls are where resident students eat most of their meals. Three campus dining halls each offer a number of culinary stations, each with its own theme, monthly menu and specials. Find popular foods like burgers, pizza, and salads – or heartier, healthier choices like rotisserie meats with fresh vegetables and side dishes. One dining experience in a dining hall, purchased in advance with a Dining Hall Card costs $9 and includes the meal, seconds, dessert and beverage. Carryout is not available.

We accept credit cards and checks (made out to “University of Maryland”). University of Maryland groups can also pay using University accounts.
