"The spirit, dedication and uniqueness of COA students and faculty pushed me to go farther and not stop asking."

Take a Break Dining Hall

Not just a place to eat, Blair Dining Hall, or Take-A-Break as it is called, is the COA space for the lively and informal exchange of ideas. It's the home to coffee houses, study space, the math center, advising meetings, open mic nights, birthday parties, interviews, and political rallies. The food served in Take-A-Break has been featured in Gourmet and Saveur magazines and has been voted best college food in Princeton Review's Best Colleges guide. Vegetarian, vegan and meat options are served at all meals, and organic and local produce is served whenever possible.

All students living on campus are enrolled in the College's 5-day meal plan. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served in the Blair Dining Hall Monday through Friday when school is in session. Weekend dining arrangements are at the discretion of each student, though cooperative dining is encouraged, as each residence is equipped with a kitchen and dining room.

Students living off-campus may elect to purchase either a breakfast, lunch or dinner plan, or any combination of these, at a reasonable price. Those off-campus students choosing not to elect a meal plan will be charged $75.00 per term and receive a dining card which may be redeemed for that amount in Blair Dining Hall at any time during the term in which it was issued.
