Dining Options

Shaw Hall is by far the most convenient dining option for residents because of how far away the dormitory is from the quad and other Syracuse University buildings. The Shaw Dining Center is one of the more spacious dining halls and offers a bigger variety of food than other dining halls, such as Sadler Dining. There is a Sbarro pizza section, which serves pizza and pasta. There is also a sandwich section, a salad bar, and a specialty section, which serves Chinese-style noodles once a week.
