Dinner on the Town – or on Campus
We’ve made Saturday evening’s plans entirely flexible. Gather with classmates, friends, or teammates and continue the celebration in Madison. View a list of nearby restaurants here.
Or, looking for a trip down memory lane? Have dinner in The Commons with current students. There will be a great menu available, and it’s still all you can eat—but the food is much improved! And if you haven’t been back to campus in a while, you won’t believe your eyes when you walk into The Commons.
Friendly tip: The entrance is now on the second floor (just follow the signs).
Dinner in The Commons is $15.60 per person, plus tax, and can be paid for at the door.
