🍽 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.
