Eating
Cal Dining
Cal Dining operates four residence hall dining commons, two residential retail locations, two coffee shops, and five campus restaurants. The foundation of its service is to provide great spaces where students can gather, socialize, study, and make friends.
Residence hall dining commons are usually (and conveniently) located in the center of living environments, with early morning breakfast through late-night dining. Students will find a variety of food, including vegetarian and vegan dishes, organic salad bars, and fun weekly special events.

Enjoy the convenience of two retail locations near the residence halls: The Den (featuring Peet’s Coffee and Tea, smoothies, and deli, located outside of Crossroads) and Bear Market (grocery and convenience items, located in Unit 3).

Five campus restaurants (Golden Bear Café, Ramona’s, Pat Brown’s, the Terrace, and The Pro Shop) provide meals and snacks—everything from bagel bars to sushi. Hours vary depending upon location. Check the website for more information including locations and menus (caldining.berkeley.edu; 2610 Channing Way; dining@berkeley.edu; 510/643-8323).

Meal Plans
Cal Dining meal plans give students the flexibility to eat whenever they want at any of eleven locations, from their weekly produce stands, or via an online grocery service. There are also great options for residential students and students living off-campus. Check out the website to get more details, or sign up for a plan (caldining.berkeley.edu; 2610 Channing Way; dining@berkeley.edu; 510/643-8323).

Vegetarian and vegan options
Vegetarianism, which calls for the exclusion of meat from one’s diet, and Veganism, which strives to avoid the use of animals in any way, are two popular lifestyle choices that are wholeheartedly supported at Cal. There are generally a number of vegan and vegetarian options available in the dining commons and campus restaurants, and many Berkeley eateries offer similar choices. Whether you’re a carnivore, herbivore, or someone in between, Cal has something for you.

Eating disorders
We live in a society that places value on body image and low weight. As a result, millions of Americans, especially women, take drastic measures to be thin. In doing so, they often sacrifice their health and—in some cases—their lives. If you or anyone you know may have an eating disorder, you can get help at University Health Services. UHS also offers a quick online screening tool on its website as well as links to other resources and support groups (www.uhs.berkeley.edu/students/medical/
