At Stanford, students will find that many of their most memorable conversations and social activities will take place at their dining hall; eating with their housemates is an essential part of Stanford's Residential Education program. Many residential academic programs such as faculty night and dinner lectures are centered around meal time.
Award-winning Stanford Dining ensures that every dining hall features the highest quality and most nutritious foods. Fresh soup and salad bars are always available with a daily variety of entrée selections including meat, vegetarian, organic vegan, and Halal.
Meal Plans
Stanford Dining provides a delicious and nutritious meal plan for every appetite - light, medium, or athlete; we also give you maximum flexibility of eating locations across campus. Please review the following information to help you select your preferred meal plan.
Stanford Dining provides three different meal plans for one price. If you are unsure about your selection, you can change your meal plan (at no cost) within the first two weeks of every quarter. Choose a plan that best fits your lifestyle and schedule.
All-You-Care-to-Eat Meal Plans allow you to choose from all menu selections in the dining hall. All of the food you select must be consumed in the dining halls; please eat what you take. The 14 meals/week plan allows you to carryover a maximum of two unused meals week to week, while the 10 meals/week plan allows for a maximum of 1 unused meal to carry over from week to week. At the end of the day on Saturday, the following week's meal allotment and carry over meals (19, 14, or 10) are added to your card. |

Cardinal Dollars
If you have selected a meal plan with Cardinal Dollars (14/week or 10/week), you have added flexibility to your All-You-Care-to-Eat meal plan, providing dining choices outside of your residence. You can meet friends at Stanford Dining's late night eateries, dine at Stanford Dining-operated cafés around campus, or purchase meals for your guests after the quarterly allotment of guest meals has been used. Up to 75 unused Cardinal Dollars can carry over from quarter-to-quarter. Meal Plan Cardinal Dollars are unavailable for use during interim periods between quarters. Your Cardinal Dollars do not expire until the end of the quarter. |
Changing Your Meal Plan
You can change your meal plan at any time up until the last two weeks of any quarter, at no cost. Once you're on campus and understand your schedule better, you can change to a meal plan best suited to your needs. After the second meal plan change during any quarter, a $25 fee will be charged for any additional changes. |

We can accommodate other special needs. Here are just a few examples:
Religious Food Practices
Stanford Dining values the cultural and religious diversity that is intrinsic to the Stanford community. We take pride in our efforts to honor most requirements and constraints in each of our dining halls.
If you live in a residence with a required meal plan, you may request an exemption if there are concerns about meeting religious dietary requirements. Depending on where you live, exemption requests must be submitted to and approved by Stanford Dining, an Eating Club or Dining Society manager, or the house staff in Row and EAST houses. There may be a fee associated with such an exemption. Please verify your eligibility for an exemption prior to applying for a residence. Questions regarding this policy should be addressed to the Assistant Director for Student Management at (650) 723-0778 or Stanford Dining at (650) 723-4751. Each exemption request must be accompanied by acceptable written documentation from an independent (non-relative) clergy. Religious exemption applications are processed by the Stanford Office of Religious Life.
Stanford Office for Religious Life: http://religiouslife.stanford.edu
On Friday nights, approximately 70 students come together at Hillel's home, the Ziff Center for Jewish Life, for free Kosher catered meals. Information on any specific Friday night is available at http://hillel.stanford.edu. Most weeks, Saturday lunch is available as well. In addition, Chabad at Stanford serves meals on Shabbat. More information is available at http://chabadstanford.org.
First in the Nation: A "Peanut Sensitive" University Dining Hall
Peanuts are quickly becoming one of the world's foremost food allergens, and 3 million Americans currently suffer from all levels of nut and peanut allergies. Here at Stanford, some students have such severe peanut allergies that they had to avoid eating in our dining halls for fear of contact with peanut material residue on countertops, breathing in vapors from peanut shell fumes, or ingesting as little as one-five thousandth of a teaspoon of food containing peanuts.
In response to a clear need for peanut allergy awareness in university dining services nationwide, Stanford Dining has made Ricker Dining the first on-campus dining facility in the country to designate itself a peanut-sensitive environment. Stanford Dining is paving the way for other institutions to follow in our footsteps, and we are proud to be able to meet such a pressing health need of our students.
For more information on our Peanut Sensitive program, please call Stanford Dining's central office at (650) 725-1508.

Losing Your Stanford ID Card. (It is your dining meal card)

OTHER HOUSING OPTIONS
Eating Clubs and Dining Societies
Students living in Toyon Hall and the Suites are required to join one of three Eating Clubs or four Dining Societies, respectively. There are no exceptions to this requirement. The Dining Societies and the Eating Clubs are student-run organizations that offer a variety of eating plans and sponsor social activities as well. In 2008-09, the cost of standard meal plans are approximately $4,500 per year in the Eating Clubs (near Toyon Hall) and approximately $1230 to $1500 per quarter in the Dining Societies (near the Governor's Corner Suites). Contact the general manager of the Eating Clubs, (650) 723-3103, http://www.stanford.edu/group/SEC, or the Dining Societies (near the Governor's Corner Suites), (650) 497-7731, for more information.
Self-ops and Fraternities/Sororities
Self-ops and fraternities/sororities are undergraduate houses in which student residents and non-resident eating associates manage the operation of the house's meal service and hire a house cook. La Casa Italiana, Haus Mitteleuropa, La Maison Française, and EAST House often feature international meals. Other self-ops include 557 Mayfield, 680 Lomita, 717 Dolores, BOB, Durand, Grove, Lambda Nu, MARS, Muwekma-tah-ruk, Narnia, Phi Sig, Roth, Slavianskii Dom, Storey, Xanadu, and ZAP. Rates for eating associate plans range from approximately $1100 to $1300 per quarter. Information about eating associate plans may be obtained from houses' kitchen managers.
Co-ops
Co-ops are student residences in which residents and nonresident eating associates manage the house meal service and prepare all meals themselves. Eating associates at co-ops are required to work two to five hours per week planning, preparing, and serving meals. Because students prepare all meals, co-op board plans cost less than other meal plans at Stanford. The seven co-ops are Chi Theta Chi, Columbae, Enchanted Broccoli Forest, Hammarskjöld, Kairos, Synergy, and Terra. Students interested in becoming an eating associate at a co-op should contact the houses' kitchen manager. Rates for eating associate plans range from approximately $500 to $800 per quarter.
Cooking
Students living in Mirrielees have private kitchens in their apartments. Generally, students in these apartments cook for themselves or with their roommates. Mirrielees residents may also become eating associates in a Stanford Dining dining hall or a student-managed house or organization.
Though meal plans are required in all other residences, students in most houses also have access to a small, communal kitchen. In many student-managed residences, the house kitchen is open to residents at all times.
