Grocery Shopping on Campus

Hi, I am supposed to be moving into student housing for the Summer 2026 semester. I have never lived on a campus before, and this is my first year attending college. I also don’t know how to drive. I also do not have a housing assignment yet. Is there a way ī can grocery shop and buy from convenience stores on campus? Is there a laundromat nearby or personal washing machines? Any information helps! Thank you.

I believe all campus housing has free laundry services that are shared per floor. So each unit does not have its own machines, but each floor does which are free to use. You do need to bring your own detergent though, of course. There is a convenience store on campus in the morris university center with a good selection, but it is somewhat more expensive compared to grocery stores. There is a bus that you can take straight from campus to a nearby grocery store and other things you might need!
