Dining Services provides a variety of convenient options offering delicious, nutritious food.  Students choose from a number of dining locations that are close to class or close to home. Students can choose to dine buffet style in the dining courts, take out from an On-the-Go! (OTG), or grab a bite from our late-night restaurants or mini-marts.

Meal Plans

We offer a variety of meal plans to fit our students' busy schedules. Incoming students and current residents may choose from one of three traditional meal plans. For upperclassmen (sophomore 3 and above), we also offer two block meal plans.

Off-campus students are not eligible to purchase traditional or block meal plans. However, they may purchase the Open Dining Card. Residents of Hawkins and Purdue Village family housing may purchase the Open Dining Card or use BoilerExpress in the dining facilities.
