What to do when dining services are closed?
College House kitchens will be open for students who have completed the kitchen safety training. Lancaster Loop will also run during Fall Break. This will allow you to get out to restaurants and grocery stores for your meal needs.
Explore Lancaster! Lancaster is home to some amazing restaurants and carry-out locations. Take a walk downtown to Central Market or the center of the city for some very unique and affordable options.
Order delivery from one of the many local restaurants in Lancaster. Many food options are available for delivery through Uber Eats or Door Dash.
Please be sure to use your housing address. If you use 415 Harrisburg Avenue, your meal may not get to you! So please make sure you use your correct location!
If students are ordering carry-out, they are reminded to be courteous to the custodial staff and break down to-go containers and not overflow trash and recycling bins.
Gather for a meal with friends in an off-campus apartment.
