Dining Services

Your meal plan includes access to all-you-care-to-eat, self-service dining centers and a value of Munch Money (declining dollars) for use in the retail outlets. The dining centers and retail outlets have posted hours, and there is always a place to find dining options from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. daily.

Dining Services has a new look! Alley@Farrand has a contemporary food court design offering students a fresh daily deli bar, pizza and pasta station, salad bar, grill, and chef choice entrées. The newly renovated Sewall Dining Center offers students international selections, pizza and pasta, chef’s choice, and grilled options. Libby Dining Center offers students quality food prepared with state of the art equipment and a display cooking chef's station. Lickety Split (Libby) and Alley Express (Farrand), centrally located Grab-n-Go outlets, offer students quick sandwiches, salads, fruits, and beverages to go. Piazanos grab-n-go outlet in Cheyenne Arapaho hall, offers students an Italian-inspired menu featuring 100 percent natural and organic meals when available. Zeller’s, a new convenience store and grab-n-go in Sewall Hall, also provides food items and last minute supplies for the north end of campus.

In addition, there are community dining centers in Darley Commons at Williams Village and Kittredge Commons. The 2.1.3 Grab-n-Go outlet in Darley Commons features made-to-order burritos and specialty sandwiches.

All-you-care-to-eat menus are designed to meet nutritional needs, student desires, seasonal availability, and current favorites and trends. The mainstream cycle menu features entrées, side dishes, and deli and salad bars. Some dining centers also feature a chef’s station where students can get their meals made to order.

In addition to offering regularly featured menu items, Kittredge Dining Center has started a new menu program called “Back to Basics”. This gluten-free menu includes both entrées and side dishes and is suitable for many different palates.

Housing & Dining Services also operates several retail outlets that accept Munch Money in addition to Campus Cash, cash, or credit cards. Emporium@Farrand, Village Market at Darley Commons in Williams Village, and Zeller’s in Sewall Hall, are the answer to students' convenience store needs. You don't need to leave campus for toothpaste, munchies, or detergent. Hardrive Café at Kittredge Commons, a cyber café with TVs, a pool table and dance floor, offers great tasting coffee, smoothies, fresh baked goods, appetizers, soups, salads, and sandwiches. Stadium Grill, located at Dal Ward on the north side of campus, offers sandwiches, salads, and other munchies for the lunch time crowd. Norlin Underground, conveniently located in Norlin Library, provides quick snacks and coffee drinks to busy students. top

Housekeeping

Housekeeping cleans the commons areas; you are responsible for taking out your own trash, recycling, and keeping your room clean.

Mail Service/Deliveries

Regular mail and standard packages are delivered to mailrooms centrally located in your hall or commons area. All overnight express packages, flowers, cakes, etc. are delivered to the hall office and are signed for by staff. You will be notified by e-mail for package pickup. Outgoing mail is picked up daily from each hall.

Your mailing address will be:
[Your Name]
[Box No.] [Hall Name]
Boulder, CO 80310 - [+ four digit extension]
For example:
Ralph E. Buffalo
9405 Andrews Hall
Boulder, CO 80310-0003

The four-digit zip code extensions are as follows: top

If you live at College Inn, your mailing address will be:
[Your Name]
1729 Athens St. #[Box No.]
Boulder, CO 80302-6415
For example:
Ralph E. Buffalo
1729 Athens St. #9405
Boulder, CO 80302-6415

Note that your box number is randomly assigned and does not match your room number for security reasons. You should not include “University of Colorado” in any mailing or shipping addresses because it slows delivery. With the exception of College Inn, the residence halls have their own zip code, which is distinct from the zip code for the rest of university.

Shipping Belongings

If you plan to ship personal belongings to the residence halls, time the shipment so that it arrives at the hall after you do (in no case earlier than the move-in date of August 20, 2009). Storage space for shipments is extremely limited. Address your shipment of belongings and any future mail as shown above.

If you have not received your hall mailing address by the time you travel to Boulder, arrange with your shipping agent to ship on a “will call” basis. When you receive your hall assignment, call your shipping agent with this information so that your belongings can be delivered. top
