A DINING EXPERIENCE Cuisines from around the world. <strong>JMU</strong> has the #6 best campus food in the U.S. (Princeton Review, <strong>2016</strong>) and with so much choice it’s easy to see why. From world-class coffee, desserts and snacks, to halal, kosher, vegetarian, American and Korean dishes, <strong>JMU</strong>’s 20 on-campus dining facilities offer something for every taste. D-HUB Known by the student population as D-Hub, <strong>JMU</strong>’s original buffet-style dining hall is an essential visit. The menu has a wide selection of savory and sweet options from different cuisines and cooking styles, including vegetarian and vegan alternatives. E-HALL The East Campus Dining Hall, or E-Hall, is a 700-seat modern buffet-style dining area that serves a variety of food from around the world: bakery, bistro, deli, grill, hearth oven, produce market and Tandoori International. TOP DOG CAFÉ Top Dog Café, a food-court style eatery, is a favorite with international students. Four unique venues – Mongolian Grill, Sushi, Madison Bread Company, and Grille Works – offer an international mix of traditional stir-fry Asian dishes, sushi and sashimi, signature Italian-style Panini, and a wide variety of American dishes. FESTIVAL Found on <strong>JMU</strong>’s east-campus, Festival offers not only an impressive menu but also a beautiful view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Students can find traditional American food as well as Mediterranean and Chinese dishes in this food-court-style dining option. RESTAURANTS AND CAFÉS In addition to the selection of restaurants and food courts unique to the <strong>JMU</strong> campus, students can also find popular American restaurants and cafés such as Starbucks, Java City, Chick-fil-A, Einstein Bros. Bagels, and Quizno’s. “I want to learn a new culture because I am shy. The university has just a few Chinese students so there is a good chance for me to practice my English, and the restaurants are very good here.” Jingwen Wang, China Business Administration, Management 24 jmu.edu/isc
