Dining

At the George Washington University, we take full advantage of all our city offers, including D.C.’s vibrant food scene. Our dining experience gives summer guests access to our all-you-care-to-eat dining venues and food and groceries from more than 80 GW Dining Partners located both on- and off-campus. Designed to fit the busy lifestyle of our summer guests, GW Dining supports myriad dietary preferences by providing healthy foods and convenience.

The George Washington University operates all-you-care-to-eat dining venues on-campus, open to GW community members and summer housing guests. Each venue operates on a swipe or fixed price basis, in which dining guests will swipe their card to enter the venue.


Our Summer 2025 Meal Plans

Note: Because very few dining options are remaining open for summer 2025, meal plans will NOT be available to purchase by interns or long-stay groups. These meal plans will ONLY be available to GW students staying for the summer.

50 Meal Swipes + $50 in declining debit balance on student's GW card for $585

Option #2: 100 Block Plan

100 Meal Swipes + $100 in declining debit balance on student's GW card for $1175

Declining debit balance can be used at any GW Dining Partner location, including at GW's all-you-care-to-eat dining venues.

Meal Plan Booking Options

Summer groups and interns will not have the option to book a meal plan in 2025.
