Staying fueled is an essential part of being a successful college student, and Campus Dining Services at the University of Colorado Boulder makes it easy for students to find nutritious options with 15 convenient locations across campus. Whether you’re looking for a quick snack on the go or a full meal, there are plenty of options to choose from to keep you energized throughout the day.
Before heading to a dining location, it’s helpful to plan out your meals and accommodate any dietary restrictions. Campus Dining Services has partnered with Nutrislice to provide students with daily menus, nutritional information, ingredients, and allergy information for each dining location on campus. This makes it easier for students to make informed choices about their meals. Additionally, students can meet with a registered dietitian, Lisa Whalen, for free consultations to help navigate food options, learn about ingredients, and more. Email dining@colorado.edu to set up an appointment with Lisa.
There are three dining centers on campus that offer a wide range of cuisines in an all-you-care-to-eat setting. The Center for Community (C4C) is an award-winning dining center that offers food from around the world, including eight micro-restaurants, a build-your-own salad and deli bar, and a dessert station. Sewall Dining Center serves multicultural meals, traditional comfort food, and items hot off the grill. Village Center Dining in Williams Village offers globally and locally inspired meals at its five micro-restaurants.
For students in a hurry, grab-n-go locations are a great option. The Alley @ Farrand, CU on the Run, and Libby on the Run offer a variety of quick and convenient options for students on the move. These locations provide made-to-order sandwiches, salads, sushi, and other hot and cold food items.
Restaurants and cafes on campus serve specialty foods and drinks, snacks, and on-the-go options.
