University Housing Dining and Culinary Services serves the residents of the University Residence Halls, as well as all UW-Madison students, faculty, staff, and the general public. Food is provided in a number of venues across campus, including dining markets, coffee shops, and convenience stores. Our menus include made-to-order items, many recipes made from scratch, and healthy options, giving you flexibility to eat what you want, when you want it. Our Registered Dietitians and online tools can also help you with nutrition and dietary needs. University Housing also operates a large catering service to serve campus customers.

Please note all our Dining Markets are cashless. Accepted forms of payment include Wiscard, Visa, Discover, and MasterCard. To keep cashier lines moving quickly, cash or check are not accepted.
