Most graduate students download the Boost Mobile App to purchase food at Olin Café (in Olin Hall). The cafe offers stations with a variety of different food options and is where graduate students gather and eat most of their meals. If you want to purchase a Trim Dining Hall meal plan, you’re welcome to, but it’s not required.
Trim Dining Hall
This “all you can eat” dining option is available for a flat rate entry price. With a range of dining stations, you can choose from traditional American “comfort food” to cuisine from around the world. Graduate students get a discounted rate on Fridays.
Roger’s Pub
Connected to Trim Dining Hall, Roger’s Pub provides a relaxing social atmosphere, with cozy booths and pool tables, fun theme nights, and food specials. Roger’s is a great place to meet up with friends to unwind. Traditionally, graduate students have a weekly happy hour on Thursday nights at Roger’s Pub to spend time with friends and classmates.
