Eating well at Simmons
You need energy to learn, and our campus dining spots offer plenty of tasty, healthy choices to fit your diet and your cravings.
Visit the Fens for grilled steak tips, veggie calzones, deli sandwiches, and salads. If you want coffee and a pastry, stop by Common Grounds Cafe. Bartol Dining Hall, our all-you-can-eat spot, is on the residence campus for students who prefer to stay close to their dorms.
Meal plans for everyone
Whether you live on campus or commute as an undergraduate or graduate student, or work here as staff or faculty, you’re welcome in our dining halls. Choose from full-service plans, point-based plans, or pay-as-you-go options at CampusDish.
Coming soon: A new dining experience at the Living and Learning Center
We’re excited to welcome the Living and Learning Center in January 2027. The building will include a two-story dining hall designed to accommodate a wide range of dietary needs and preferences, with dedicated features such as an allergy-safe station, smoothie bar, stone pizza oven, and salad bar, as well as rotating options.
The ground floor will house a café offering casual dining and grab-and-go service, centered around a cozy two-story fireplace.
