“You don’t have to cook for yourself or clean your own bathroom. Huge time-saver!”
– Angelina, Busey Hall, MusicThroughout the year, University Housing surprises residents with exclusive events, giveaways and contests. You might even see a T-Rex delivering prize packages or score free tickets and the “VIP” treatment at our tent before the big game.
Dining with University Housing is more than a meal plan…. » It’s a community of friends sharing a meal. » It’s a commitment to sustainability through menu items grown on our student sustainable farm and energy reduction programs like our food waste recycling program. » It’s a collaboration with campus cultural centers and community restaurants to offer authentic recipes that taste like home. » It’s addressing food insecurity by offering the Everybody Eats program so those who need a hot meal can find one within our halls and collaborating with community agencies to provide leftover food to those in need. » It’s nutrition services so you can nourish your mind and body. » It’s building your leadership and teamwork skills as a dining student employee. (And you get a free meal when you work!) You could spend your limited time cooking, cleaning and grocery shopping. Or let our award-winning chefs design healthy and nutritious meals for you. Need extra assistance? Our in-house dietitian will work with you to create a plan for your specific needs.

WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST MISCONCEPTION YOU HAD ABOUT LIVING IN THE RESIDENCE HALLS?
“The food would be terrible, and I wouldn’t want to spend time there at all. I expected to want to go somewhere else
all the time. To my surprise, the people in my hall were polite, and the food was actually good. I was also fine with
spending a whole weekend just relaxing in my room.”
