Not feeling well? Stay home and get a “Buddy Meal”
If you are sick or injured, you can ask a friend, roommate, or your RA to pick up a Buddy Meal to-go box from the dining hall. The person picking up a Buddy Meal will need to bring your student ID card as well as their own, and tell the cashier that a Buddy Meal is needed. Learn more »
