Metro University Dining
Eat. Drink. Socialize.
Since its founding in 2011, Metro University Dining has been an integral part of campus life, serving as a gathering place for students, faculty, and staff to refuel, relax, and recharge. Our dining program has grown from a single cafeteria to a network of dining halls across campus, offering diverse, nutritious meals to fuel the academic experience.
At Metro University Dining, we believe that food plays a crucial role in student success. Our mission is to provide meals that not only nourish the body but also contribute to the well-being of the campus community. We strive to create menus that reflect the diverse tastes and dietary needs of our students, with options that are fresh, local, and sustainable.
