Food Food Food!

For the passerby, it may appear that here at UR we only have two dining options: our beloved dhall (Heilman Dining Center) and Tyler’s Grill in the Commons. However, that is not entirely true. While the dining hall is amazing and carries constant variety, and Tyler’s is quick and efficient, there comes a point in one’s UR career where they desperately need other options.

There is ETC, the convenience store located by the dining hall. It carries tons of different types of food from snack bars to cereal boxes to lean cuisine meals. Dark chocolate Dove bars, Red Bull, and Orbit gum are among some of my most common purchases. And it feels like it is free - just swipe those dining dollars!

There is also the Dean’s Den, located across from the Housing Office. It is a smaller version of ETC essentially. It carries pints of Ben and Jerry’s ice cream and any kind of drink you could want. Yum! It is also open until 1 a.m. Sunday-Thursday - perfect for that late night-have to have it-need it now snack.

Lastly, there is 8:15 - the library coffee shop. It carries Starbucks coffee (Dunkin Donuts coffee is available at Tyler’s), as well as pastries, croissants, and muffins. I highly recommend the black forest muffin - it is absolutely delicious!

No matter what, you will not starve at UR! Even if everything on campus fails, Ukrops is less than 2 miles away!!! :)
