What is the Rebecca Chopp Grand Central Market?
Where is the Community Commons located?
The Community Commons building is located in the old Driscoll North location on Race and Evans. This perfect, centralized location means the entire campus has quick, easy access to all the Community Commons has to offer.
Even for the students living at Centennial Towers or on the Northeast side of campus, this location is an 8 - 10 minute walk and less than half a mile away. (Closer than a trip to Chipotle, Mustard's Last Stand or the gas station)
What is a Meal Equivalency Swipe and what is included?
The Meal Equivalency Swipe is how a person would use a Swipe from a Block Meal Plan inside the Rebecca Chopp Grand Central Market.
For each full meal swipe, you will receive
- Hot sides (such as Mashed Potatoes or Broccoli)
- Soup or Salad
- Fruit or Dessert
We will now be launching the Seconds Program.
**You will now be able to visit 2 stations during the same meal period, and within 60 min from the time on your receipt. **
**Make sure to ask your cashier for a receipt upon check-out (don't leave and come back, as this will not be allowed). **
You will then be able to take that receipt to a second station within 60 min. These receipts are not good for a guest meal.

Can I bring a Guest?
Yes! Your friends and family are welcome to dine with you in any of our campus dining locations. With the block meal plans, every meal is a guest meal which means you may use one of your block meal swipes to purchase a meal for a guest any time you wish. When dining at a retail location or getting snacks from the Pioneer General store, use your Flex or Meal Plan Cash just like cash to purchase enough for yourself and a guest.
