Living & Dining

Dig In
What are you hungry for? Chances are you’ll find everything to satisfy your craving within a few steps of your front door—and you can choose from a variety of meal plans designed for dorm or apartment living that accommodate your busy schedule. There’s even a fourth meal option if you don’t get a chance, or an appetite, to eat until later at night.

Start at the newly renovated Englar Dining Hall, where there’s always a fully stocked salad bar and a variety of comfort foods, from roasted turkey to freshly made pasta dishes to burritos to burgers and fries. For a change of scene, there’s also the pub, which stays open until 1 a.m. and is a favorite hangout for kicking back in front of the TV. Really good coffee and smoothies are served at the Caseys' Corner. The eatery, located next to the fitness center, is a convenient place to grab a meal after a workout.

Beyond Pizza Delivery
Besides the gazillion pizza delivery options, you can get a variety of cuisines delivered right to your door including:

• Sushi from Asian Sakae
• Authentic Mexican from Papa Joe’s
• Terrific Thai from Thai Classic

“Whiteford Hall is an interesting place that provides a home for freshman girls, most of whom have never lived away from home before, that develop families and relationships with each other.” — Molly Friedman, 2014

“Last year I lived in a North Village apartment. If I had to describe it in one word, it would be amazing.” — James McGrady, 2013

“Everyone from the football team, to sororities calls Blanche Ward Hall home. With such a mix of residents, there was always someone to go to Glar or the gym, but it was also easy to get some peace and quiet for that dreaded study time in the common rooms on each hall.” — Nate Adamczyk, 2013

“I have generally always had a pleasant experience with residence life; I've never had to change roommates or rooms. I loved living on campus for four years.” — Tim Connors, 2013
