Residence dining halls

HÂþ»­â€™s Halifax Campuses feature four dining halls with all-you-care-to-eat nutritious and delicious meal options for all students, faculty, and staff.

More than a place to eat

Our dining halls are more than just a place to eat—they’re vibrant community hubs filled with engaging events and celebrations all year round. Here’s what students can look forward to:

Every month, we host a themed party in a dining hall, complete with decorations, music, and food to match the celebration. Students are encouraged to dress up and join the fun!

NEW! Late-night dining at Risley Hall

Your late-night favourites, on campus, made-to-order.

Beginning September 10, late night dining will be available to residents right on campus.

Based at Risley Dining Hall, residents will enjoy an a-la-carte menu of late-night favourites like pizza, burgers, poutine and more. 

While late-night dining is not included in the meal plan, you may use your Foodbucks, credit, or debit to purchase from this menu!

Late-night dining will be available Thursday – Saturday from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. at Risley Dining Hall only.

Open to all residents.

Special dietary needs

We are committed to ensuring all students, faculty, and staff have a positive and safe dining experience in our dining halls. This means rigorous food labelling for common allergens and dietary preferences, as well as procedures to prevent cross-contamination.

Off-Campus Meal plans

Variety, value, and convenience 

Meal plans aren’t just for residents! 

Off-campus meal plans allow students living off campus to enjoy the same delicious and nutritious options and skip the grocery shopping and cooking.
