Dining Services for Students

Introducing By Design at the Chat!
By Design offers a variety of fresh new station menus that will give guests the opportunity to create a meal to their tastes. By Design changes its menu bi-monthly to give more dining variety to the chat. The menus will allow guests to custom create their dishes from items we have freshly prepared. By Design Menu themes will include BBQ, Flatbread Pizza Station, Salad by Design, Italian, and Mexican. Have an idea for this station? Let management know and we will try to incorporate it in!
Dining on Campus
Arcadia University operates dining facilities for both resident and commuter students. Flexible options for meal plans are available to all students, including commuters and apartment residents. The Dining Hall is open for lunch and dinner on weekdays, and brunch and dinner on Saturdays and Sundays. Students on the meal plans are required to present a valid Student ID. Commuters and guests of resident students may pay a flat rate for an individual meal.
The Chat, located in the Commons, is where students and guests can purchase breakfast, lunch, dinner and late night meals. Meal exchange is available for all meals during limited hours. Retail items, “On-the-Go” salads and sandwiches, and F'real milkshakes are available in The Chat.
