KCC Main Dining Hall

The Kline Campus Center (KCC) main dining hall offers a casual atmosphere where you can gather with friends around small, friendly tables, with restaurant-style seating, booths or counters with stools. Feel free to come and go as many times as you want when the dining hall is open.

Meal Plans

The daily menus feature options for every diet, including vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free. Every day you’ll walk in to the sight of fresh salads, deli sandwiches, pizzas, fries, favorite home-cooked foods and so much more.

The Resident Dining Plan is included in your standard residential fees. All students living on campus are required to have this meal plan, which includes:

  • Unlimited access to the Kline Campus Center dining hall during the posted hours.
  • Three guest passes per semester
  • Option to purchase a $5 reusable to-go container, which can be used at all available meal periods, even on the weekends. This credit must be used in the same academic year it was given.

At Bridgewater, we value all students, and we want commuter students to feel fully integrated into the BC community. Dining Services is excited to offer a flexible meal option that allows commuters to dine on campus with their peers and enjoy a variety of dining options.
