Meal plans
We offer a unique student dining experience in the new purpose built Student Residence Centre on the Bendigo Campus.
As the catering unit for the Division of Residential Services in Bendigo, the Food for Thought team is passionate about providing the very best student dining experience possible.
Fresh fruit and vegetables, quality meats and small goods and freshly baked bread are selected and prepared by our chefs to ensure that our students are well fed and their nutritional requirements are met.
Students can enjoy their university experience without the burden of grocery shopping, preparing and cooking food or even washing dishes. The outdoor eating/BBQ area will but used during the warmer months and for special events.
A typical evening meal would consist of two choices of main course and a vegetarian choice upon request.
