Dining Information
On Campus Dining
Saint Mary's Dining Services has a meal program designed to meet your individual needs. We know you're busy with classes, sports, clubs and service activities, and we make sure that you can find a nourishing and enjoyable meal or snack when you need it. Up-To-Date hours of operations can be found HERE.
Saint Mary's College contracts with the Good Eating Company to provide food service in Oliver Hall, The Coffee Shop, and for many of the student socials. The College offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner during the week, and brunch and dinner on weekends. The Late Night Dining Program offered nightly gives students a break from studying.
All students living on campus, including the Townhouses, will have a meal plan included with their housing costs starting Fall 2023. Townhouse residents' room and board costs will include a set number of meal swipes with the option to increase to a larger meal plan size for an additional cost. The townhouse style meal plan gives students the opportunity to prepare most of their meals, while still allowing the convenience of having a quick, easy meal on campus. Saint Mary's Campus Housing and Dining Services through Good Eating Company are dedicated to supporting the student experience. Meal plans increase the student experience on campus, allowing students to dine in community and have access to meals when needed.
2023-2024 Meal Plan Information will be added to this page once rates and plans are finalized. Interested in joining the Culinary Council to provide feedback about SMC Dining Services?
