Dining & The Commons

A shared table and a useful rhythm in the college day.

Communal dining room with seasonal lunch and natural light

The standard dining plan

The 2026–2027 standard plan costs $4,800 for the academic year, or $2,400 per semester. It provides 14 meals per week and includes $150 in campus dining credit each semester. The credit is part of the published plan price, not an extra charge.

The Commons building opens beyond some meal-service windows, giving students room to meet or wait between activities. Check the service schedule below when planning a meal.

Selections change through the term. Posted ingredients and a conversation with Dining help students understand a particular dish; discuss individual dietary needs before selecting a plan.

More than a dining room

The welcome desk, student lounge and organization spaces make The Commons a point of connection. A club can gather after class, a visitor can get directions and a student can find the office responsible for a practical question.
