Our Staff Will Swipe Your Card

We're working to make your life easier. Starting January 6, students will no longer swipe their Aggie cards themselves. Staff will do it for you! This change will be effective at all residential and retail locations. Simply hand over your Aggie card to a staff member, and they will take care of the rest. Happy dining!

Food Resources On Campus

Location Highlight - Latitude Market

Aloha, food lovers! Latitude Market is back open, and we welcome to a taste bud explosion. At Latitude Market, we aren’t your average store. Yes, we have drinks, snacks and goodies with a focus on global brands, but that’s just the beginning. Come on in and try our build-your-own poke bar. Savor our Hawaiian BBQ, or, take it to-go.

Refresh yourself with our gelato bar, shaved ice and smoothies. Top it all off with some pastries and grab-and-go sushi. We pride ourselves on ingredients that are high-quality, local and full of flavor. It may just be a break between school or work, but it will feel like feet in the sand on an island paradise.
