Hungry yet, Highlanders?

Strawberry-flavored drinks at the on-campus Starbucks, located in the College of Humanities and Behavioral Sciences, are a popular pick among Highlanders. Pictured is the famous "Pink Drink." The beverage features the flavors of the on-campus best-seller, the Strawberry Acai Refresher, with accents of passion fruit and acai, combined with coconut milk and topped with a scoop of strawberries.

Let’s face it.

Food is a pretty big deal in the lives of college students, and Highlanders, you are no exception.

Radford University has a dozen different on-campus dining establishments to keep you well-fed and prepared for whatever stands in your way.

Pulling an all-nighter? Starbucks to the rescue!

Running late for class? Grab a sandwich and some waffle fries to go from Chick-fil-A.

Need an energy boost after that hard workout? A protein-packed salad from Create will help you recover.

Craving comfort food? Stop by Dalton Kitchen for their famous fried chicken.

With so many food and beverage options to choose from, have you ever wondered what you and your peers are ordering most? What are the most popular menu items?

Get-Go12
In a hurrry? The new Get & Go Dining Program allows Radford students with a Meal Plan to order food and drinks from participating restaurants on campus from their phones and pick it up from temperature-controlled lockers stationed near the dining establishments from which they ordered.
