Campus Dining
We view the dining program from not only a nutritional standpoint but also as an important social aspect of their growth. By offering so many options it encourages your student to explore not only new cuisines but to also meet new people and make new friends. Dining on campus allows your student to take part in the socializing that goes on during meals, allowing them many opportunities to interact outside the classroom.
