Dining
According to none other than the Princeton Review, Cornell ranks in the top ten among all colleges and universities in the United States for best campus food. Cornell Dining offers a number of meal plans designed to provide flexibility, variety, and plenty of healthy and satisfying options.
There are over 30 convenient dining locations across campus, including 10 all you care to eat dining rooms. From 7:00 AM to 2:00 AM, there will always be a place open on campus to grab a quick snack or hot meal. You don’t have to be on a meal plan to enjoy the exceptional food from Cornell Dining. Cash, credit card, and the Cornell Card are accepted at all campus dining facilities.
However, if you are seeking extra value and savings, enrolling in a meal plan is well worth it. Meal plan purchases are exempt from the New York state sales tax.
And, don’t forget to check out City Bucks – a debit account that allows you to purchase meals at dozens of participating off-campus restaurants using your Cornell ID. The fee is charged to your bursar bill.
If you have special dietary requirements - for health, medical, allergies, religious, ethical or lifestyle reasons – Cornell Dining is ready to accommodate you. Students who require modifications or accommodations to their diet must first register with Student Disability Services (SDS).
