Located on the second floor of the Billy Graham Community Life Commons, our main dining center offers a number of different stations—wood fired pizza, pasta, global, grill, comfort, vegetarian and gluten-free options, salad bar, beverages, desserts, ice cream, and more.
Campus dining operates with three goals in mind:
Nutrition: The Christian’s body is the temple of God and functions best when physical needs are met through a carefully planned, balanced diet.
Excellence: Committed to excellence in the complete dining experience, Northwestern seeks to provide professionally prepared foods using fresh ingredients that are flavorful and sometimes adventurous. Foods are presented in a colorful, tasteful, appetizing manner, and nutritious well-balanced meals are a high priority.
Fellowship: Sharing meals and snacks together provides a rich setting for students to build relationships with one another. Campus dining seeks to enhance students’ fellowship by providing a clean, warm, uplifting atmosphere in the dining room area.
