One of the best things about living on campus is not having to worry about grocery shopping, food preparation, cooking your meals, or cleaning up afterward — leave all those time-consuming duties to us! At SMC and Loretto, all residents are required to have a meal plan because there are no cooking facilities in any of the dorms. Both dining halls offer a variety of different food stations, such as:
- The Kitchen – Hearty entrees including vegetarian & halal
- Trattoria – Brick fired oven pizzas, pasta, and flatbreads
- The Grill – Grilled favourites, beef burgers, jerk chicken, BBQ ribs, and more
- Salad Bar – Stocked daily with a wide variety of seasonal ingredients
- Deli Station – Create your own subs and sandwiches
- Dessert Station – Delectable cakes, squares, brownies pies, and pastries
- My Pantry – Here you can cook your own meals in our kitchen cooking station
Meal Plan Options
Residents have two “All You Care to Eat” meal plan options:
- 5 day – provides breakfast, lunch, and dinner Monday to Friday
- 7 day – provides breakfast, lunch, and dinner Monday to Friday, as well as brunch and dinner on the weekends
Note: Meal Plans can be upgraded or downgraded until September 30 however, as of October 1, meal plans can only be upgraded from 5-Day to 7-Day. To request a change to your meal plan, contact smc.residence@utoronto.ca with your request and student number.
