Yale University Commons Dining Hall
Commons is known for its impressive, cathedral-like dining hall with high vaulted ceilings, stained glass windows, and wooden beams. It provides a unique and atmospheric setting for meals. There are five counters, offering vegetarian dishes, Western cuisine, pasta, and Chinese food. The taste and nutrition are both quite good! The dining hall is also open to visitors. A meal ticket costs $15.
The Schwarzman Center at Yale is a recent repurposing of two legacy buildings at the heart of campus: the Commons Dining Hall and Memorial Hall, easily recognizable thanks to its dome. It expands the two spaces so that they serve as a student center of sorts, with the goal of bringing community members together over dining, meeting spaces, and the arts. Besides the Commons and Memorial Hall, new spaces and venues include a convenience store, a dance studio, a 21+ pub, function facilities, performance spaces, public art galleries, and study nooks.
