The WMU Dining Experience
WMU Dining Services provides flexible, customizable options from unique dining venues close by residence halls and academic buildings. With 2 dine-in, all-you-care-to-eat dining centers, 8 campus cafès, grab'n go and late-night carryout options, as well as popular retail selections like Starbucks, MiPi, Fuego Verde, and ReFresh Market, campus dining is smart, convenient and varied.
Dining Services takes care of the details, ensuring students have access to nutritious, comforting foods and allowing them to focus on their academic and co-curricular pursuits.
Residence Halls
Students living in residence halls in the fall and spring (Valleys, Western Heights and Henry) are required to have a meal plan unless their Housing contract is for a room in Britton/Hadley (Valley 1). Students choose their meal plan when they select their room in the Housing Portal, typically in June for incoming students.
Apartments
Students living in WMU Apartments or off-campus have flexible options for dining on-campus. Students can choose to purchase Meals in Bundles of 10 at any time throughout the semester/session, or choose to purchase a Meal Plan at the beginning of each semester/session.
Dining options
Whether you need something to eat during a late-night study session or just after sleeping in until noon on the weekends, you’ll find multiple dining options that will satisfy your hunger.
Accommodations
WMU strives to create a positive dining experience on campus for everyone. We have a variety of nutrition and allergen accommodations available depending on your restriction and sensitivity.
