Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

You can survive, and even become a little plump, on dining hall meals. There is always plenty of food, but the food itself it not always so tasty. There are some people who are tremendously fond of the dining hall and sing its praises, but most students find themselves looking for other options pretty quickly. The food courts are a good place to use your points, and students often find themselves choosing fewer meals in favor of points.

After some time, students figure out which dining halls prepare which meals the best and move between them to satisfy their cravings. One of the major motivations to move off campus is the ability to escape the dining hall food. The dining hall experience gives you a new appreciation for cooking, and most students are happy to break away from the poor quality, tasteless meals that the dining plan offers.

University of Delaware Food Options

the dining food at the dining halls is hit or miss. Sometimes it is horrible, and sometimes it is decent. You can also eat in Trabant which is like a food court (use flex or points) and perkins where you can also use flex or points. Those are open late as well and are good places to study

UD Dining and Eating Around Campus

The dining halls at UD have a wide variety of food, something for everyone. Recently, they have been stepping it up, bringing in special desserts, themed meals, fresher and more presentable food, as well as nicer staff serving it. The taste of the food can sometimes be a little bland, but everything is edible and most kids I know end up coming back up for seconds. If you paid for a dining meal plan, its best to take advantage of it and use all your meals. If you have a little extra cash and want to dine out, Main Street has so many different and delicious options, from several pizzarias to the Indian Sizzler to Panera Bread and Subway, to Irish pubs and Chipotle. We even have a Buffalo Wild Wings, a great place to get some wings on a sports night or just go and hangout with friends. The marts that sell quick food on campus take Points (which come with your meal plan) and Flex. They are very over priced, but I find myself eating several meals a week from them... they are very convenient. Generally, you won't find yourself too hungry at UD!

Pretty Good

The dining halls offer a pretty good variety, but when you get sick of food, there's plenty of restaurants close by, especially on main street. Also, we have our own UDairy Creamery, which has its own building and is in one of the dining halls.
