Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Meals at Truman are something you learn to deal with. If you are used to eating lunch at 2 p.m., you will learn to grab a quick bite at 11 a.m. so you’ll be hungry again at 5:30 p.m., when everyone else is going to dinner. The hours are confusing, especially right before holidays. But when they are open, the dining halls are really quite a deal—the equivalent of $3 taken from your account buys all-you-can-eat soup, salad, sandwiches, waffles, dessert, and a variety of entrées during every meal. Plus, the staff is always cheerful, helpful, and friendly. Food at Truman isn’t always the healthiest, but there are always vegan options.

A meal plan consists of three options: 210 meals and 50 dining dollars, 165 meals and 100 dining dollars, or 140 meals and 150 dining dollars. The meals are the only currency good in the dining halls, but they can also be used at the SUB restaurants. For example, if you choose chicken tenders and fries at the Sky Ranch Grill, which runs about $4.89, you’ll spend one meal ($3) and $1.89 in dining dollars. The lack of 24-hour dining facilities is inconvenient, but students stock up on late-night munchies for studying. Plus, with the off-campus dining nearly as limited in selection as on-campus establishments, students mostly resign themselves to becoming a little less choosy.

Good Choices, but You'll Get Tired

There are 3 dining halls on campus and then there is the Student Union Building. The dining halls are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are no late night options until the week of finals. The food in the dining halls are good. There are things that you can get every time you are in the dining halls, and then they have different entree meals. When you need a break from the dining halls, you can eat at the SUB, which has better choices, but is more expensive with your meal plan.

Dining Halls

The dining halls are nice in the way of being able to get that community sort of feeling, however food isn't always the best and a lot of it leaves much to be desired. However, there is usually at least one tasty bit on the menu for each meal.

Dining Improvement

The dining on campus could be better if they serve a variety of healthy food. The best place to eat is Ryle Hall, but there are other places like Missouri Hall, Centennial Hall, and the Sub (which is the most expensive place to eat on campus). Also, better dining options for Sundays would make a difference.

Did You Know?
  • The dining halls are such a good deal that local businesspeople hold lunchtime meetings there all the time.
  • At the beginning of each year, each resident hall student is provided a 16-ounce reusable mug, called a T-Mug. It can be brought into the dining hall, filled with a beverage, and carried out. The T-Mug is the only reusable container allowed into the resident hall dining room. If lost or damaged, replacements may be purchased for $2.25 each.
  • Sodexo, the company that runs Truman's food services, will deliver cakes, cookies, fruit baskets, and coupons for free food to your room on your birthday starting at only $12.50.
  • If you are ill and cannot visit the dining room, a sick tray can be provided by obtaining a form from a student adviser.
  • Students can arrange to get a sack lunch if class schedules or work schedules conflict with meal periods.
