Dining Halls and Cafes

Quality, variety, sound nutrition, and student input are the cornerstones of Bryn Mawr Dining's award-winning board plan program. Add convenience to that list with students enjoying the flexibility of unlimited access to BMC's three dining halls, which together feature almost continuous service from Breakfast through Dinner on Monday through Friday. The Cafes serve as a great place to get a cup of coffee, or a quick cafe style snack or meal during the day, and at night they are open well after the dining halls close for those students who crave a late-night snack...

Dining Services Program Highlights

The meal plan features a six-week menu cycle that is constantly revised via student input. Student surveys are utilized to determine cereal, beverage, and salad dressing offered at each dining hall. Some dining halls use surveys to determine music selections played during meal times. Monotony breakers and special events are added throughout the year to add excitement to the program.
