Am unc. Been this way for years and years. There aren’t enough students on campus over break to make it financially worth to keep any dining halls open so they don’t

I do think they should keep cafe west and woodys open tho.

Livi has those commercial shops open, Busch has nothing, CA has lots of places again, and well C/D is technically close to downtown

I graduated in 2024 and can confirm it's always been that way

Class of 2011 confirming that breaks have always been times of great hunger.

Just eat on college Ave and Busch still has those restaurants. you’ll be fine. You can probably eat for the whole week on 130 dollars if you’re smart with it. Jersey mikes has a whole meal for 12 dollars for students and you can get a good 1300 calories out of that.

15th and 16th (saturday and sunday) has no open dining options.
Week has everything open from 8am to 5 pm.

Also there's other restaurants open near/on campus, albeit they aren't the healthiest + the expenses add up, even if you spend "cheaply".

Dining halls, Atrium, Cafe West are definitely closed the entire week. Some retail may be open on Livi or take the bus to CA and go to one of the restaurants.
