Dining Locations at Taylor University

At Taylor, meal time is not just about physical nourishment—often it’s also about fellowship, personal growth, and conversation around the table with your wing, sports teams, classmates, and friends. 

Taylor's main dining location is the Hodson Dining Commons. Students can also get meals at Zondy's Cafe in the Zondervan Library Galleria, Boren Campus Center, and Lem's Bright & Early in Euler Science Complex.
