Feel good about what you eat

Some of your most enduring college memories will come from conversations around the dining table, and the meal shouldn’t be an afterthought.

Beloit’s dining hall takes a farm-to-fork approach. We put a premium on fresh ingredients from family farms, our student-run urban garden, and food producers who use humane, environmentally friendly practices.

Craving something from home? Our menu draws inspiration from all over, including recipes submitted by students and their families.
