9 Tips for Dining at UConn

  1. McMahon pasta bar for lunch on Wednesday is always followed by pasta bar for dinner on Friday (optimal waiting time can be achieved by arriving at 1:20 for lunch, 4:40 for dinner)
  2. You can get a soup menu flyer from the co-op that covers all of their soup rotations
  3. Whitney, Northwest, and McMahon are open Sun-Thurs until 10pm
  4. Bring Ziploc bags and/or Tupperware to squirrel away study snacks for later
  5. If you’re a friendly customer at the union, the employees often won’t charge you for extra meat or a drink
  6. If you pay attention to the meal rotations, you can predict and plan for when your favorites will cycle back around
  7. You can access all the dining hall menus with the MyUconn app
  8. Keep an eye out for theme nights. Their menus aren’t listed on the app.
  9. A flex pass for a friend in need rarely goes unreciprocated.
