Dining

Our two dining facilities managed by Bon Appetit Catering Services are the centerpiece of the university dining program. By providing an abundance of delicious food in a relaxed setting, Bon Appetit offers students a wide selection of healthy entrees and food choices. From Nutrition Awareness to a professional help staff, our dining program supports the goals and mission of Case Western Reserve University.

The Seven Meal Plan for Commuters

Our Special Seven Meal Plan is designed especially for commuters. It includes seven all you care to eat meals per week at the dining commons, or it can be utilized at Grab IT! or with the Meal Exchange program in Leutner Lower Level (L3).
