Colgate boasts a healthy and sustainability-conscious dining program that provides a wide range of meal choices for students.

Colgate's dining facilities are designed to provide students with comfortable places to dine with friends and faculty. From Frank Dining Hall to a cozy pub and a modern café, there's always a place to relax and enjoy a meal.

Mid-Term Recess Meal Swipes

Students with meal plans through Colgate Dining Services may swipe into the dining hall up to three times per day during fall break. If you have a block plan or a weekly plan, these swipes won't count against your total swipes used.

Students without Dining Services meal plans can swipe their card to pay the door rate, which will be applied to their student account after the break.
