Dining Advantage Account Incentives**


Cash & Credit
Simply pay with cash or credit card for your meals and groceries.

Tip: Students and parents have found the best success and economy by using a combination of the Evergreen and Dining Advantage accounts to budget food and miscellaneous expenses.

Both accounts are easily accessed through the Loyola Identification Card with the student indicating which account to debit at the time of purchase. The Dining Advantage account cannot be accessed for any other purchase than food, while the Evergreen Card can be used for food, bookstore purchases, and other non-food items.

Determining Your Food Budget...

When determining your food budget, several factors must be taken into consideration:

  • Student appetite
  • Food preferences
  • Meal frequency
  • Off-campus meals
  • Days during the semester spent off-campus

The average student spends $1500-$1,800 per semester plus an allowance for snacks and delivery. Keep in mind that there are about 105 dining days in each semester.

Students tend to dine 4 to 5 times daily and at hours that extend well into the night—meals may be smaller, but frequency is greater. To accommodate students, certain dining facilities are open until 12:00 a.m.
