On Campus Dining Information

Southeastern and Hammond have a plethora of options when it comes to food.  It can be overwhelming to find out where to go to eat and how to get there. Southeastern’s Campus offers various options for dining on campus but have hours of operation that vary during the semester breaks and the summer.  If you arrive before the on campus facilities are open, there are still plenty of options for off campus dining located very near campus or your apartment. In fact, many places in Hammond offer delivery options. The information below can help you.

It is also important to remember that when you are traveling to the U.S. to remember to eat before, during, and after a long flight if possible.  Before you leave the airport, grab a bite to replenish yourself before arriving in Hammond and taking care of getting yourself settled.
