When it comes to food, variety is essential! With menus ranging from brats on the Campus Mall, tacos (with a view of the river from Hilltop Center), all-you-can-eat buffet cafeterias, and fabulous food courts, whatever you're looking for is only a Blugold card swipe away.
With the beautiful view of the Chippewa River, Hilltop Center offers a diverse selection of goodies just a short walk away from your residence hall. Satisfy your taste buds with such favorites as Pete's Arena, Blimpie's or a student top pick - omelets at the cafeteria!
Need a night out? A short walk (or free bus ride) will take you downtown, where students enjoy their favorite lattés, catch a movie, or tune in to the music of local artists. Better yet, most of these venues cater to the budget of university students!
Support one of the 200+ campus organization by buying a cookie before class. (Will it be the Mighty Jugglers Club, West African Music Society or The Flip Side?) The Campus Mall is a popular spot to find such fundraisers and even hot chili during the Winter Carnival!
In Davies Center, the lower campus student union, you'll find such conveniences as microwaves, a coffee shop and restaurants with lunch time favorites like the Baja Grill and the Diner. Don't forget to stop by Freshen's for a much deserved sundae or smoothie after class!
Jazzman's is a must for coffee addicts on campus. This great café offers a wide variety of coffee selections as well as sandwiches, salads and even pastries. It's located right next door to the Cabin, where the nightly music slots are just as coveted as the couches!
Run out of milk for your cereal? No worries! The Hilltop Center C-Store is where you can buy all the college student grocery necessities: milk, cereal, orange juice, paper towels and more, and all located within the food court for easy accessibility.
Your Blugold ID card is all you need to access your meal plans and you'll have tons of plans 
to choose from, so rest assured, you'll find one to fit your lifestyle!
