USC New Student Orientation
We are pleased to offer three unique dining hall experiences. Our flexible meal plans allow participating students the option to dine in the hall of their choice. Their convenient locations throughout campus and diverse menus makes it easy for students to plan their meals around their busy schedules. All venues offer an all-you-care-to-eat style of service while dining in-person.
Students on unlimited meal plans are allowed one Residential Dining TO-GO meal per day. Students with Dining Dollars or Campus Center Meal Swipes have the added benefit of expanding their dining options to USC Hospitality retail cafés.
