Dining Commons 101
The dining commons start with a diverse and delicious menu with the freshest ingredients from local farms and finish it off with a sense of community and an environment perfect for socialization and studying. Our 3 dining commons—Segundo, Tercero and Cuarto—have the mission to provide a dining experience that is the least stressful and most enjoyable part of your students’ day.
Our team is dedicated to creating new menu items, hearing feedback and incorporating it. We have an allergy-friendly platform and options for those with dietary and religious restrictions so you know that your student is taken care of when you dine with us. Plus, your student can use their meal plan at any of the three locations.
Segundo, Tercero and Cuarto Markets
We’ve got your student covered at our 3 residential markets—Segundo, Tercero and Cuarto. Our markets have a variety of snacks, beverages, grab-and-go meal options and even testing supplies. We are also dedicated to listening closely to feedback and continuously evaluating our offerings to keep in stock what is most wanted.
Each market focuses on specific treats. Segundo Market features baked goods and ice cream. Tercero specializes in smoothies, and Cuarto stocks best-selling snacks to go. With quarterly raffles, upbeat music and even seasonal decorations, the markets provide a stress-free place for them to quickly get what they need. Your student can also use Aggie Cash here to get 10% off their purchase every time.
Latitude Restaurant
At Latitude Restaurant, we bring the world to your student. Your student can explore our destination dining experience with an array of global cuisines that are inspired. We share our love of all cultures through food with local ingredients and a unique menu crafted with passion and care.
When your student dines with us, they can be educated on new flavors while being reminded of ones that taste of home. We have customizable options to easily accommodate allergies or dietary preferences. Aggie Cash and Meal Plans are welcome—and encouraged—along with credit cards. Now offering breakfast!
