On-Campus Dining Options

A well-fed Brandeis student is a happy Brandeis student. Luckily, there's no shortage of dining options on campus:

  • Usdan Student Center is home to two separate food courts: Upper Usdan Food Court, which offers soups, salads, sandwiches, burritos and sushi, all prepared fresh daily, and Lower Usdan Resident Dining, an all-you-care-to-eat facility that offers an even wider selection, from vegan and vegetarian options to international cuisine, pizza, salad and more.
  • Sherman Dining Hall is another all-you-care-to-eat facility, housed in the Hassenfeld Conference center. It provides a range of glatt kosher and nonkosher meals.
  • The Stein, just above the Sherman Dining Hall, is a cozy pub with delicious appetizers and entrees, as well as beer and wine for students 21 and older — plus a late-night breakfast buffet for those midnight munchies.
  • For students on the go, Brandeis offers a convenience store, Hoot Market C-Store, an Einstein Bros. Bagels, and several sandwich and coffee stands throughout campus, including Dunkin' and Starbucks.
  • And the options don't end there. If you choose to bring your own food, you can always store and heat-up your food at the Graduate Student Center located at Gerstenzang 127.
