Families Eat Free as we welcome students to campus

We're looking forward to welcoming thousands of new and returning students and their families to campus for the start of the Fall 2022 semester, and we'd like to show off our exceptional Cornell Dining hospitality to the entire family.

Families Eat Free

From August 15th-21st, Families Eat Free in our residential dining rooms! Any student on a Cornell Dining meal plan may bring any family members accompanying them to campus to join them for a meal at any of our ten All You Care to Eat dining rooms. Family members must arrive with the student, the student will use their meal plan to enter, and family members may enter with their student at no cost. 

The whole family, for real. Parents, guardians, siblings, grandparents, cousins, whatever. Explore one or more of the West Campus House System dining rooms, enjoy a Kosher meal at 104West!, check out the newly renovated North Star Dining Room, see how tasty gluten-free, peanut-free, and tree-nut-free cuisine can be at Risley Dining, or visit our new food-hall-inspired flagship facility, Morrison Dining. (This offer applies only to our All You Care to Eat residential dining rooms, and not to our retail cafés, grills, and convenience stores.)

Check now.dining.cornell.edu for each dining room's hours and menus, and join us for a meal as Families Eat Free from August 15th-21st.
