Fulfill your cravings

Whether you’re in the mood for a coffee drink from Starbucks, a burrito from Qdoba or a homestyle meal, you’re in luck!

Our meal plans allows you to dine at both residential and retail dining locations. Within a five-minute walk, you can eat anywhere on campus. Your biggest challenge will be deciding where to eat. No matter your craving, our flexible meal plans allow you to choose from a variety of options.

Do you have alternate dietary needs, allergies or intolerances? No worries! Our registered dietitian nutritionist and their team are happy to assist. We also have online tools such as detailed menus, MyDining, Healthy Huskie Choices and MyPaw to help you navigate menu choices, sort through nutrition labels and build your own custom, nutritious meals. When you’re well-nourished with a balanced diet, you have a more positive experience on campus and achieve your best academic performance.

Meal Plans

Our Huskie Block Plans are great because they allow you to eat where, when and whatever you like from any dining locations across campus.

Here’s what you get with our block plans:

• Twelve, 15 or 19 weekly meal swipes to use for dine-in or take out from our all-you-care-to-eat dining centers at Neptune and Patterson Hall.

• Weekly meal swipes that can also be used for meal exchange at Stevenson’s Retail Dining Center and Gilbert’s East Side Café during hours of operation, as well as Einstein Bros. Bagels and Holmes Student Center at The Depot, the Grill at the Huskie Den and Qdoba during specified hours. Check out go.niu.edu/where-to-eat for more information.

• One hundred Dining Dollars to use throughout the semester at all campus dining locations, including Ellington’s restaurant.

Dining Dollars

Dining Dollars are part of your Huskie Block Plan. They’re conveniently loaded to your OneCard and allow you to eat at any campus dining location. Because Dining Dollars are considered a meal plan, they’re billed through your student account. More Dining Dollars can be purchased separately and added to any plan at any time.

Huskie Bucks

Huskie Bucks are separate from your dining meal plan. They’re prepaid and loaded to your OneCard. They can be used anywhere on campus to buy food and drinks or make copies. Huskie Bucks can also be used at many restaurants in DeKalb.
