Communal Dining
Communal dining in each residential college dining hall is an important part of the undergraduate experience at Princeton. Bringing students together, often with other members of the University, enhances the overall social and educational environment on campus. Residential college dining halls are operated by the award winning Princeton University Dining Services. Anyone with a Meal Plan Contract may dine in any residential college dining hall in accordance with the terms of their Meal Plan.

TigerCard Swipes at Dining Halls
Your TigerCard is your meal card and must be presented to the dining hall checker, who will swipe the card in order for you to gain admittance to the dining hall. Your meal plan has been encoded in your card, and each swipe counts as one meal. For more information about use of your TigerCard as a meal card, including information about replacing lost cards, see the TigerCard website.

Todays Menu
