Food service is available in two dining halls: Melinda Seaman (St. Hilda's) and Strachan Hall (Trinity). Each offers three selections including a vegetarian or vegan option.
Meals are ‘all you can eat’; both dining halls have self-serve salad bars; fresh fruit is available at every meal.
Bag meals and early dinners during the week are available if class or work prevents you from going to the dining halls during meal hours.
The College does all it can to accommodate special dietary needs, but may not be able to respond to all needs. Please contact the Sodexho food service office (416-978-3862 or sodexho@trinity.utoronto.ca) before making a final decision on residence.
Residents can purchase additional meals for cash at the entrance to the dining halls, or supplementary meal plans and FLEX dollars at the Bursar's Office.
