What's on the menu?
Find out what's on the menu each day by going to the online Dining menu, or see the menu posters at the dining room entrances. There are two menus to choose from, depending on which dining room you select.
Residence hall dining room
Where do I eat?
You can go to any open dining hall with your residence hall meal plan. To enter, stop at the dining room door and have your Bronco card swiped by the checker. Remember, your meal plan can only be used by you. The online dining map will help you locate all the different dining rooms around campus.
Valley I sub sandwich
What is Specialty Dining?
Each dining room has a specialty option featuring a unique menu. Go to each dining hall and sample your choices. Order a hot sub sandwich from Valley I Sub Shop or try the Pho Noodle Bar at the Garden Wok at Davis Dining Service. You'll want to check out all the specialty menu options. Specialty dining opens September 8.
Dining Dollars
Dining Dollars - what a deal!
Dining Dollars are included with your residence hall meal plan. Use your Dining Dollars at any WMU Campus Café or to purchase a guest meal in any residence hall dining room. Please remember that Dining Dollars that are part of a meal plan do not roll over to spring semester - so be sure to use them frequently!
Dining Carryout
What the heck is Carryout?
Carryout allows you to get a meal when eating in the dining hall won't work. Carryout at breakfast is available right from the dining hall, Monday through Friday. A sack lunch or dinner is available by placing an online Carryout order.

Late-night Carryout
Hungry after the dining hall closes?  Go to late-night!
Late-night opens on Tuesday, September 8.

Where?
Hoekje/Bigelow Dining Service Carryout and
Valley II Dining Service Carryout
(no advance order needed for Late-night Carryout)

When?
Sundays: 6:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m.
Monday - Thursday: 8:00 p.m. - Midnight

In lieu of the paper sack provided for breakfast Carryout or Late-night Carryout, you may bring your own reusable sack and leave it at the checker's stand when you arrive. When you are exiting with your carryout meal, retrieve your reusable bag. The Earth thanks you!
Where do I eat on the weekends?
Two units serve a full hot menu on weekends: 
Hoekje/Bigelow and Valley II

Three units serve a continental breakfast and deli lunch
(includes soup, deli bar and salad bar): 
Burnham, Davis and Valley I

You can use your meal plan in any dining hall... go where your appetite takes you! Be sure to check out weekend serving hours on our web site.
 
Off campus friends can dine with you!
Commuter meal plans are available for students who live off campus. Take a look at the options and sign up for a commuter meal plan online.
