Nutritional Standards

We hold ourselves to a high standard of nutrition and seek to offer healthy, nutritious options for all students. Our culinarians are skilled at creating extraordinary dishes, crafted with fresh ingredients, that taste absolutely amazing. Students find themselves pleasantly surprised when they dine at Georgetown!

Additionally, students at Georgetown have access to an onsite dietitian who can help students manage their dietary needs and provide guidance on healthy eating while on campus.
