Dining at Chapman is about more than just the food. We’re committed to environmental responsibility, sustainability and food security for all. Here’s what you can expect when you’re a Chapman student and looking for a good meal or quick snack.
From breakfasts to midnight snacks (we serve until 1 a.m. every day), plus plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, there’s something for everyone on campus. And before you ask: yes, we have a Starbucks.
Check out all our healthy options (plus nutrition info and sustainability resources) on our Student Dining page.
Whether you live on campus or commute, you can purchase a meal plan at Chapman. With a meal plan, you get a set amount of meals at Randall Dining Commons (our on-campus dining hall) plus Panther Bucks (a.k.a. Chapman credit) to use at other dining locations on campus. To see how it all works, check our Meal Plans page.
Our tour guide Adrienne also shows off some of the popular on-campus dining spots in this TikTok:
