Meals and Dining at USC
There are many dining choices available to students on campus and in the surrounding area. For hamburger and french fry lovers there are several different fast food restaurants in the area, including a Carl's Jr. located on-campus. For those who like Mexican or Chinese food, there are restaurants on-campus and off-campus. The International Food Court, directly across the street from campus, offers an affordable selection of food from more than 20 regions around the world. Many of our students love to go to the Food Court to get a little taste of home (bulgogi, sushi, jiao zi, spaghetti, pizza, curry, etc.).
There are also several different grocery stores located in the area. Superior Market, located directly next to the International Food Court will meet most of your grocery needs as well as a fresh deli and bakery. Other markets such as Smart & Final and Ralph’s Supermarket are located just a few blocks away from campus (5-15 minute walk).
University Mealplan
Students living at Parkside Apartments in the fall and spring semesters have the "Community Apartment Meal Plan". This plan provides 50 meals and $100 dining dollars per semester. The 50 meals may be used in either campus dining hall (EVK and Parkside Restaurant) throughout the semester. The $100 dining dollars may be used
in any USC restaurant or cafe throughout the semester. This mealplan is mandatory, however students may choose to 'upgrade' to a comlete mealplan if they like.
