Residential Dining
 

Welcome to University Housing Residential Dining! We operate two state-of-the-art dining facilities located in Burge and Hillcrest Halls, providing delicious and nutritious meals to students living in all ten residence halls. Burge Market Place is located in Burge Hall on Clinton Street between Daum and Currier Residence Halls. Hillcrest Market Place is located in Hillcrest Hall on the bluffs of the west bank of the Iowa River across the street from the Quadrangle Residence Hall and near Rienow and Slater Residence Halls.

The Market Place Concept

Walk into one of our Market Places and you'll notice a lively, welcoming atmosphere where students come not only to eat, but to socialize and relax. The Market Place concept invites students to roam through the many food stations, choosing from an abundant assortment of foods. Every day, we feature a wide variety of wholesome, healthy and tasty foods available on an "all you care to eat basis." And because the Market Places offer continuous weekday service from 6:45am to 8:00pm Monday through Thursday and until 7:00pm on Friday (as well as weekend hours), students will never miss meals because of class scheduling.

Meal Plans

All housing contracts must include room and board, with the exception of returning residents in rooms with a University supplied kitchen. Residential Dining offers different meal plans to meet the needs of every student. Don't do breakfast? You can chose a 14 meals per week plan. Definitely a three-squares-a-day person? The full board plan should satisfy you. Live off-campus or in on-campus housing with a kitchen and want to avoid shopping, cooking and doing dishes ? We have a plan for you, too!

Making Smart Choices

The goal of Residential Dining is to provide outstanding foods and value. We accomplish this by using the freshest and most natural ingredients possible in our recipes, encouraging students to make healthy choices in their foods and lifestyles, and reducing waste.

Our Smart Choices initiative highlights our efforts to meet the needs of our students and for our environment.
  • It's Only Natural - expanding the use of locally grown foods, as well as expanding natural and organic offerings.
  • Live Smart - information on nutrition and exercise to encourage healthy choices.
  • Waste Not - exploring opportunities for recycling and reducing waste.
  • Work for Us!

    For a fun and flexible work environment, many students choose to work in one of our Market Places. They can work around their class schedules and enjoy being close to home. Many of our employees appreciate the leadership experience we offer...and the extra cash isn't bad either!
