 Dining ServicesStudents living on campus, except those living in the Western Ridge Apartments, must purchase a meal plan. There are a variety of meal plans to choose from. Each meal plan allows you to eat in Rastall Dining Room or the retail venues on campus. Rastall Dining Room offers all-you-care-to-eat dining and selected to-go items. Entrée choices include vegan, vegetarian, and traditional selections. Benjamin’s is a mini food court featuring: Stacks Fresh Sandwiches, Pico’s Taqueria, the Grill, and Grab ’n Go beverages and snacks. Colorado Coffee offers coffee, pastries, sandwiches, salads, and beverages for meals on the run. Preserve, in the Western Ridge Apartments is a combination of a bistro café and a local food market. The café offers fresh, light dining selections including pizza, wraps, sandwiches, espresso drinks, and smoothies. Additionally this location offers some grocery items such as fresh produce, meats, dairy, grains, and convenience-style “ready to eat” meals such as salads, meats, entrees, and sushi. Local Goods, a convenience store located in Mathias Hall offers food and sundry items in addition to light hot snack options. Students may change meal plans during the first two weeks of the semester, after which they may only change to a plan with a greater number of Tiger Dollars. Students may use Tiger Dollars or cash to pay for a guest’s meals. Students with health conditions or religious mandates that cannot be accommodated by dining services may apply during the first block of each semester for an exemption to the mandatory meal plan. Application forms can be obtained from the Bon Appétit office located on the lower level of Ticknor Hall. Students who live off campus may still purchase a regular meal plan, commuter plan, or a Gold Card for Rastall Dining Room and retail purchases. For more information on these programs, contact the Gold Card office, in the Ticknor Building. Menus are posted on the Colorado College Web site at the campus dining link. The student-catering menu allows students to plan ahead for block break meals for groups of 10 or more, get-togethers with friends, and field-trip meals. Menus and order forms are available from the food service office in Ticknor Hall. Campus dining conducts student focus groups during fall and spring semesters, an annual customer satisfaction survey, and has comment cards available at each food venue. Student opinion is important to campus dining. The CCSGA-sponsored Food Service Improvement Committee, composed of students, Bon Appétit managers and chefs, and administrators, meets once each block to discuss campus dining. The committee meets to talk about concerns and ideas regarding our food service program. It acts as a liaison between the student body and Bon Appétit, brings student concerns to the committee, and brings the administration’s and Bon Appétit points of view to the students so we all can better understand all aspects of the food service program. Questions or concerns for the committee can be addressed to either the general manager of Bon Appétit or the president of CCSGA. Student workers are hired each year for a variety of campus dining jobs. Students interested in applying for one should contact the financial aid office for a referral to a food service manager.
