Dining

You gotta eat.

Dining at Illinois State University is more than great food at convenient locations. Our culinary team is dedicated to preparing fresh, delicious, and healthy meal options daily to best meet the needs of students. We look forward to being an integral part of the residence hall experience.

Throughout the academic year, Event Management, Dining, and Hospitality holds various special meal events and activities. Enjoy experiencing new cuisines? You can participate in themed meals and tasting events at both dining centers. Check the dining website frequently for more details.
