Q:Where do I eat and when?
-
A:Our full service dining room is located in the Residential Restaurant in the Student Center. As a residence hall student, you may eat in this facility with your meal plan. The other dining facilities available to students are the Coffee House at SMSU, State Street Subs, the C-store, Mustang Express Zone and the Mustang Concession stands. Dining hours for all facilities are posted and provided to all residence hall students. Students who have class conflicts at any of these eating times may request a sack lunch in advance. If you are ill and unable to go eat, a roommate or friend may pick up a sick tray for you. You may also contact your RA to assist you.
