As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people.
When studying abroad, eating is a very important thing.
This article will introduce how to solve the problem of eating while studying at the University of Washington.
Eating in the on-campus restaurant? Introduction to the on-campus restaurant. There are twelve on-campus restaurants, distributed in various places on the campus. Coffee is the favorite of Americans, so there are thirteen cafes of various types in the school. There are also
There are small supermarkets and food trucks serving street food dotted around campus.
Many of these dining spots are located just downstairs from the dormitories, which is very convenient.
Restaurants provide a variety of food, generally speaking, sandwiches, salads, burgers, etc. are the most common.
There are some hot dishes available for lunch or dinner, but not much Chinese food, and even if there is, the taste is not very authentic.
The price of food in the school cafeteria is relatively reasonable. Taking breakfast as an example, a sandwich is 5.5 to 6.5 US dollars, a pint of milk is 3.95 US dollars, chicken salad is 3 to 3.5 US dollars, etc.

Choose a dining plan You can use cash directly when spending money in on-campus restaurants, or you can consider choosing two different dining plans launched by the school's Housing and Food Services (HFS), both of which will give certain discounts.
Residential Dining Students who live in school dormitories must choose a Dining Level when applying for dormitories, otherwise the application cannot be completed.
Dining Level*** is divided into seven levels, ranging from US$725 to US$1,770 per quarter.
As long as you choose any level other than the lowest Level PR, HFS will reward a portion of money to your Husky card. The reward ratio ranges from 3% to 7%. The higher the standard, the higher the reward ratio. The highest reward is
$93.
You can switch between various standards at will, but please note that switching from a low standard to a high standard can be done at any time, but the application for switching from a high standard to a low standard can only be applied before the beginning of the next semester, so it is better to choose a lower standard than a higher standard.
The amount in the card is valid for three quarters, namely autumn, winter and spring.
Autumn is the beginning of a cycle. Unused balances can be transferred to the next quarter for continued use, but no further transfers are allowed at the end of the spring quarter of the following year.
The unused balance on the card is non-refundable.
For the specific standards of Dining Level, please click here to view; click here and you can use the Dining Calculator tool provided online to choose the standard that suits you.
? U Plan Students who rent a house off campus or live in a campus apartment (Apartment), if they often eat and buy things on campus, may consider joining the U Plan launched by the school, which is more cost-effective than spending directly with cash.
As long as you deposit $200 into the Husky card each time, $220 will actually be charged to the account, and the extra $20 is the reward given by HFS.
The amount on the card is valid for one year, and the unused balance is non-refundable.
You can use it in school restaurants, coffee shops, food trucks, espresso bars and small supermarkets.

Eating at off-campus restaurants There is a street called University Way next to the school. There are many restaurants of various flavors on both sides of the street.
After eating in the school cafeteria for a long time, many students will go there to change their taste.
There are many Thai, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese and other Asian-style restaurants, and the prices of the dishes are relatively affordable, but it is not easy to eat authentic Chinese food.
If you are already a member of the Chinese Students and Scholars Association (CSSA), you can also enjoy discounts at designated restaurants with your membership card.
If you want to eat authentic Chinese food, I suggest you go to Chinatown or Bellevue.
Here are some restaurants with special flavors recommended to you: ? Super Buffet, a very famous Chinese buffet restaurant, has a nice environment and the food tastes good, especially seafood, and the price is moderate.
The address is 300 NE Northgate Way.
? Facing East, Taiwanese style, the food tastes pretty good, but the portions are not too big. If you have a big appetite, you may need to order a few more dishes.
Note that Donglai Restaurant is closed in the morning.
The address is 1075 Bellevue Way NE, Ste B-2, between 10th and 12th Streets.
? YuShan, a Beijing-style restaurant, serves special snacks such as pancakes and fruits, handmade dumplings, etc. The portions are generous and the taste is good.
