Food is an integral part of life, and there are many locations on and near campus where you can grab things to eat. In this section, we will detail the various places you can visit, what is the “speciality”, and other miscellaneous details that you should know about each location.
Dining Courts: These are the big cafeterias located throughout Purdue’s campus. We have five main dining courts: Wiley, Windsor, Ford, Hillenbrand, and Earhart. These can be accessed through using a “meal swipe”, using “dining dollars”, or by paying real money. Once inside, it is an all-you-can-eat buffet style offering various types of food. Each dining court has certain food options that are popular and stand out. Earhart offers a “make your own pizza” on some days and “make your own stir-fry”. Wiley is known for the meats and cookies. Windsor offers an entire section of vegetarian options. Ford has asian food and pizza. Hillenbrand hosts “Hillenbrunch” on Sundays. Beware of long lunch lines at Ford, Wiley, and Windsor due to close proximity to academic buildings.
On The Go / Dining Dollars: Often times, we are too busy to have a nice sit-down meal. Purdue offers many good choices located on campus for those times. “On the go” is located at Ford, Windsor, and Earhart, and enables you to use a meal swipe to but a meal to-go. In addition, there are many small cafes like Starbucks, Au Bon Pain, and restaurants in the PMU where a-la-carte options can be purchased using dining dollars. Occasionally, some of these locations also accept meal swipes. Download the “Purdue Meals” application to see full menus and receive notifications on when certain places accept meal swipes. Also make sure to budget your dining dollars, it’s easy to run out and still have half the semester left to go.
Chauncey: This is the commercial area just to the east of Purdue’s campus, along State Street. Chauncey offers a wide selection of restaurants for when you might be tired of dining court food, or on Sunday night when the dining halls are closed. Fast food chains like Subway, Taco Bell, Jimmy Johns, and Chipotle are found along with nice sit-down places like Basil Thai.
Grubhub/Doordash: This is for the times that you’re too busy working on an engineering project. This is a way to order food from locations in Chauncey and beyond, and have it delivered right outside your building on campus. It’s perfect to power through the 3am exam grind.
