Madison Campus Dining Options for Dorm@Lucky

When it comes to Madison Campus area dining as a first-year college student, Dorm@Lucky ensures you have total control without fending for yourself. We don’t require a meal plan and offer these two options, which let you decide what you’ll eat and when:

Your Kitchen

Stock your kitchen for the most savings and the most control. Eating at home is an excellent option if you’re vegan, gluten-free, or simply want to control the ingredients in your food. Fresh Madison Market is connected to Lucky through a “secret” passage within the building. Fresh is a full grocery store with a deli, produce section, hot bar, sushi bar, and bakery. (Ask our concierge staff to show you the secret passage from our lobby to Fresh!)

Campus Dining

You’ll likely spend a lot of your time on campus between classes and studying, so it’s nice to have on-campus dining options too. UW-Madison offers dozens of top-quality and varied dining options throughout the campus area. Both the Wisconsin Union and University Housing dining facilities are a la carte (no meal plans required) and are open to anyone, regardless of where they choose to live. Discounts apply for enrolled students, and you can use your Wis-Card to pay!

With these two options, your biggest problem will be the age-old problem of deciding what’s for dinner, not how to get dinner!
