Let’s face it. Eating and sleeping are two of life’s biggest joys. So where you live and what you eat are a big part of college life. A great mix of folks live and learn together here in residential spaces that are as interesting as you are. And the food? There is plenty from which to choose at two student dining halls, two cafés, and local restaurants.
Residential Life
Most students live on campus throughout their time at Wheaton. Teams of trained peer leaders, referred to as Resident Advisors, and live-in professionals oversee the residence halls. Staff members ease the transition to college life and provide advice on everything from choosing a major to what co-curricular activities to get involved in. Live-in professionals provide additional resources for counseling and resolving issues that can arise in the residential environment.
In addition to traditional-style residence halls, there are themed houses for students who share common interests and want to develop programming that serves the campus and local community.

Dining at Wheaton
So what’s to eat? It depends on what you want. There are lots of healthy as well as decadent choices at the two main dining halls—Chase, where you can try the ice cream bar and all-you-can-eat everything; and Emerson, where you likely will wander around in circles because there are so many choices. And you can feel good about what you eat in either place because of our sustainability efforts, which include such things as buying local produce, using fair-trade coffee, and sending leftover scraps to a local pig farm. Or head off campus for pizza, farm-made ice cream, or the many pick-me-up items at Bagels and Cream, just steps away.
