Live and Dine on Campus


Living and dining on campus at the University of Memphis offer students a vibrant, supportive and engaging experience designed to help them thrive. Our residential communities provide more than just a place to sleep — they create a sense of belonging, foster meaningful connections and offer an environment where students can grow personally and academically. With a variety of housing styles and living-learning options, students can find a space that fits their needs and supports their success.

Dining on campus adds to that experience by offering flexible meal plans and a wide range of food options that meet diverse tastes and schedules. From fresh, healthy selections to comfortable places to gather with friends, campus dining is built to fuel students throughout their day.
