Things to Consider
Discuss
dining needs in advance of
your
arrival at GW. Understand habits/preferences like:
Are you a traditional 3 meals-a-day diner or a grazer?
Do you prefer to cook meals, grab-n-go, dine-in, etc.?
Do you have food allergies, dietary restrictions,
food preferences
, etc.?
Based on identified preferences, explore dining options, menus and pricesSlide25
Affordability & Value are important considerations
Take
advantage of
:
Meal deals, promotions, specials & discounts available to students using their

Cooking at home is generally cheaper than dining out
Use microfridges and residence hall kitchens for meal prepTake advantage of leftovers

Seek nutritionist resources to help plan healthy menusSlide26
