It’s never fun being sick, but knowing what resources exist can make it easier to get what you need to make being sick a little less miserable!

Getting food from the dining hall
If you are on a meal plan, you can give your OneCard to your roommate/friend/RA and have them bring you food from the dining hall. In order to do this your roommate/friend/RA just needs to present your OneCard when they swipe in and tell the person at the swipe in station that they are taking food to a sick friend. They will then be given a takeout box and a soup container and will be able to bring you food. More information can be found on the Dining Services website.
