Dining Services
If you live in on-campus housing, you receive a meal plan and enjoy a comprehensive dining program during your session. Your meal plan allows you to eat with peers in your designated dining hall and enjoy menus that reflect the international character of the Summer School.
Dining Halls
Annenberg Hall
Adult and college students, Secondary School Program, and Pre-College Program students living on campus will all dine here.
You must present your Harvard ID card at the dining halls, so be sure to take it with you to each meal.
Daily Menu
Every day in your dining hall, you will find a core set of menu offerings — cereals, condiments, yogurts, fruit, grill items, salad bar selections, and beverages — as well as rotating hot entree, soup, and pasta selections so that you have a delectable range of options. Every meal includes vegetarian and vegan selections, as well as a balance between healthy and indulgent choices.
