University of Rochester Dining & Food

Ada gives you a look at her Bulgar Breakfast Bowl in Douglass Dining Center (don't worry, she'd never heard of Bulgar either!) !here_should_be_iframe! <iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/streetview?key=AIzaSyDdyNxaQBOZo1XeMHjcotBK0uAFJa0VL0M&location=43.12871399647869,-77.62881452780255&heading=270&pitch=0&fov=35" width="600" height="450" frameborder="0" style="border:0" allowfullscreen></iframe> !here_should_be_latitude! 43.12871399647869 !here_should_be_longitude! -77.62881452780255

Ada and Harshi chat about the food and music at Danforth, and discuss the controversial debate that is Danforth Dining vs. Douglass Dining !here_should_be_iframe! <iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/streetview?key=AIzaSyDdyNxaQBOZo1XeMHjcotBK0uAFJa0VL0M&location=43.12961602621399,-77.62677153757875&heading=270&pitch=0&fov=35" width="600" height="450" frameborder="0" style="border:0" allowfullscreen></iframe> !here_should_be_latitude! 43.12961602621399 !here_should_be_longitude! -77.62677153757875

Meal swipes grant you access to the dining halls, either Danforth or Douglass. As a freshman, you will have unlimited swipes! That’s like unlimited food! The dining halls open at 8:00 am for breakfast (Douglass on weekdays, Danforth on weekends). Lunch usually lasts from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm while dinner takes place from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. You can swipe into a dining hall as many times as you would like during these times. There are a few other uses for swipes. At Meliora Grab and Go, you can use one swipe for a sandwich, salad, parfait, or soup with a fruit, drink, and a cookie. At the Pit, you can use one swipe for pizza, salad bar, or grill items from 8:00 to 10:00 pm. At Rocky’s, you can use one swipe for a sandwich, a drink, and a bag of chips from 8:00 to 10:00 pm. You get about seven guest swipes as well for visitors. So the negative of swipes are the restrictions on variety and the restrictions on time.

In this video, I will be giving a tour of one of our main dining halls - Douglass Dining Hall.

Banana costumes!

Ada gives you another look around Douglass Dining Center, this time during Breakfast! !here_should_be_iframe! <iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/streetview?key=AIzaSyDdyNxaQBOZo1XeMHjcotBK0uAFJa0VL0M&location=43.12871399647869,-77.62881452780255&heading=270&pitch=0&fov=35" width="600" height="450" frameborder="0" style="border:0" allowfullscreen></iframe> !here_should_be_latitude! 43.12871399647869 !here_should_be_longitude! -77.62881452780255

Douglass Dining Center, or Douggie, is the choice dining hall for those living on the freshman quad, and the fraternity quad. Douggie is open for breakfast lunch and dinner every weekday, and brunch and dinner on weekends. There is a Kosher station, a station free of the top 9 allergens, pizza, salad, pasta, bagels, yogurt, cereal, and desserts daily, and more options like falafel, tacos, eggplant parm subs, sushi bowls, and poutine on occasion. !here_should_be_iframe! <iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/streetview?key=AIzaSyDdyNxaQBOZo1XeMHjcotBK0uAFJa0VL0M&location=43.12871399647869,-77.62881452780255&heading=270&pitch=0&fov=35" width="600" height="450" frameborder="0" style="border:0" allowfullscreen></iframe> !here_should_be_latitude! 43.12871399647869 !here_should_be_longitude! -77.62881452780255

Danforth is the other major dining center on UR River Campus, home to the vegan station and soft serve machines. As Danforth is below the Susan B. Anthony Dorms, and next to Jackson Court, it is choice dining for students living in those areas. Rochester students love the many options and modern environment at Danforth, but hate that it is closed for breakfast and on weekends. !here_should_be_iframe! <iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/streetview?key=AIzaSyDdyNxaQBOZo1XeMHjcotBK0uAFJa0VL0M&location=43.12966953890343,-77.62686696514288&heading=270&pitch=0&fov=35" width="600" height="450" frameborder="0" style="border:0" allowfullscreen></iframe> !here_should_be_latitude! 43.12966953890343 !here_should_be_longitude! -77.62686696514288

As a central location for campus life, Wilson Commons provides space for meetings, special events, relaxation, recreation, and dining throughout its five floors. The building also provides office space to the Office of the Dean of Students and many student organizations.
