We believe that dining on campus plays an important role in fostering a sense of strong community.

	Hospitality Services

Rensselaer Hospitality Services, managed by Sodexo USA, has developed a dining program that reflects the diversity and spirit of Rensselaer. At the heart of this program are three resident dining halls — each with its own service style and unique atmosphere.

Our program offers unlimited continuous dining, allowing participants to dine in any dining hall from the moment it opens to the moment it closes. Each dining hall offers a variety of food formats that can be enjoyed at the student’s convenience, and offers two or three entrees at each meal — as well as large deli and grill programs. All deli and grill selections are prepared “to order”.

Services, foods, and programs are developed by students for students using customer satisfaction surveys, comment cards, suggestions, and focus groups.

Value Added Bonus Bucks

Bonus Bucks are another feature adding flexibility to your dining options. Various dollar amounts of Bonus Bucks are incorporated into dining plans — yours to spend like cash at Hospitality Service locations in the Rensselaer Union, retail cafés around campus, concessions, Commons and BARH Marketplace.

You can also use your Bonus Bucks to treat your family and friends to a meal in a dining hall, or to enjoy some of our specials like the Student Catering program and cakes or gift sales. As an additional value, Bonus Bucks are tax exempt on all food and drink related purchases.

Health & Special Needs Hospitality Services holds a strong commitment to nutrition awareness and education. All menu items are labeled with nutritional information and common food allergy ingredients. The executive chef and Rensselaer’s health educator are available to meet with students who have food allergies or special dietary concerns.
