Living on Campus

Dining Options

Kirk Center — a full-service cafeteria.

Starbucks Cafe at Mott — serving Starbucks coffee, light meals and snacks. College is “home” for four years and that’s what we want it to feel like. A significant part of the first-year experience is the new independence of moving in to the residence halls and enjoying friends, roommates and community. Home is also about feeling safe in a new place and feeling welcome to find your way over to the Kirk Center when you need to do some serious noshing. All residential students are required to have a meal plan which includes breakfast, lunch and dinner, Monday through Friday, and brunch and dinner on Saturday and Sunday. The plan also includes Comet Cash, which can be used at the Starbucks Café at Mott.
