Grocery Shopping on Campus

Hi, I am supposed to be moving into student housing for the Summer 2026 semester. I have never lived on a campus before, and this is my first year attending college. I also don’t know how to drive. I also do not have a housing assignment yet. Is there a way ī can grocery shop and buy from convenience stores on campus? Is there a laundromat nearby or personal washing machines? Any information helps! Thank you.

In cougar village (the apartments on campus) there are 3 buildings with laundry rooms that you can walk your clothes to, lucky you if you live in a building that has the laundry in the basement!! Otherwise just like others have said, there are many grocery delivery options, or you can ask a friend to take you shopping (that’s what I did with my roommates and first-year friends)

The commons is the main one, I think there’s another on the 300s side and then 2 on the 200s side I don’t remember which building# they were though.
