All of the dining venues are operated by Sodexo Services, and more information about hours of operation and options can be found on the dining page.

All residence halls have a communal kitchen for students who prefer to cook a meal on their own once in a while. Residence hall kitchens include an oven, stove, microwave, full size refrigerator, and large sink. Students who plan to use the kitchen should bring their own dishes, cook and bake ware, utensils, etc.

Micro Fridge

Every room on campus includes a microwave and refrigerator unit. In North Hall full size refrigerators and microwaves are shared by the entire suite. In all other residence halls each room is provided with a microfridge unit. A microfridge is a combination mini refrigerator and separate freezer with a microwave attached. These units also provide the resident with extra electrical outlets, their own safety circuits, and are specifically rated for the power provided at Lewis. Please note: there is a designated outlet for the microfridge unit in each room. It is possible that if your microfridge is not in the proper outlet it will trip the breaker. If you need help identifying this outlet please contact your RA.
