🍽 Dining

NDSU has many options available for dining on campus. There are three different meal plan options and all of them work in every dining center on campus. In total, NDSU has three dining centers: West Dining Center, Residence Dining Center, and Union Dining Center. We also have other food options available on campus, including multiple coffee shops and a food court in the Memorial Union.

Meal Plan Options

Freshman students at NDSU are required to have a 5-day or 7-day unlimited meal plan. This meal plan gives you unlimited access to all three dining centers. After your first year, you can purchase a block meal plan in orders of 25 (25 meals, 50 meals, etc.). Block meal plans may be used at any of the three dining centers, the Barry Hall Coffee Shop, and the food court in the Memorial Union.

RDC Food Options

The Residence Dining Center (RDC) is the second-largest dining center on campus. It has four different hot meal lines: Homestyle, Global, Thundar's Grill, and Creations. The RDC also has an in-house coffee shop which is included in your meal plan! At NDSU, all of our Dining Centers provide fresh salad and sandwich bars, delicious dessert bars, and grills for you to create your own unique meal.

WDC Food Options

The West Dining Center is the largest dining center at NDSU and has some pretty unique options: a smoothie bar, a woodfire pizza line, a food station free of the top eight allergens, and it is a peanut- and tree nut-friendly facility. Every dining center at NDSU provides an array of food options, including homestyle classics, global cuisine, fresh salad and sandwich bars, and grills for you to create your own unique meal.
