Dining

The DeKalb and Sycamore areas offer a wide variety of food options to students. Hopefully this page will offer some great suggestions for any meal you may be looking for.

Off-Campus Student Meal Plan

Not wanting to carry cash? Use your NIU OneCard for all your food needs. Your OneCard can be loaded with Huskie Bucks that can be spent on food in a multitude of local food areas.

Best of all, the money can be refunded at the end of the semester, should you have some remaining. Visit the Huskie Bucks web site for more information, an up-to-date listing of locations accepting Huskie Bucks, and menus.
