DINING SERVICES at Hiram
AVI operates the Hiram College Dining Hall and Bistro, located on the first floor of the Kennedy Center. Learn more from AVI’s website specifically for Hiram College and view the weekly menu.
Residential Meal Plan
An unlimited meal plan is required of all residential students, except those living in the Townhouses. Townhouse residents are automatically enrolled in the Townhouse meal plan. The Townhouse meal plan is included in the cost of housing for Townhouse residents. Meal plans are active during periods that classes are in session. Information on housing rates can be found on the Housing Rates webpage.
Optional Block Meal Plans
Three optional meal plans are available to all commuter students and Townhouse residents. Plans carry over from fall to spring. Plans do not carry over academic years. To purchase a plan, commuter and Townhouse students are able to indicate their desire to purchase a block meal in their eRezLife application each year. Students can also reach out to the Residence Life and Commuter Services Office at residencelife@hiram.edu, (330)569-5232, or by stopping by the office located in Bates Hall.
Dawg Dollars
Dawg Dollars are a pre-paid account that can be used in the Hiram College Bookstore and at any of the campus dining venues. This account is separate from the student bill. Any unspent Dawg Dollars remains available until a student is no longer enrolled at Hiram College.
