Your Meal Plan
We understand that dining is a big part of your campus life – and so we’ve got a mix of dining hall and retail food locations that offer great tastes in great places.
Our meal plans are designed to let you choose the plan that’s right for you – plus, many of them feature some great extras like guest passes, flex dollars, cash equivalency at retail outlets and lunch-to-go packages.
All of our dining halls feature all-you-care to eat service, so that you can choose your portions and try as many items as you like. Each dining hall has vegetarian, vegan and many more dietary options.

We’re incredibly proud of our student and professional residence staff – together, they help students form a strong community within residences, while offering guidance, support and a friendly smile.
Our student governments are a long-standing tradition at Queen’s, and represent the interests of all residence students, while providing leadership opportunities for those who wish to get involved.
