Hewitt Dining Hall is located on the Barnard campus on the first floor of Hewitt Hall. Due to its affiliation with Columbia University, Columbia students with a meal plan can also use meals at Hewitt. Many students choose to bear its longer wait times in exchange for better overall quality of food. Wait lines are normally the longest at the stir fry, sandwich bar, and hot bar, since dining staff hand serve all students. Hewitt also offers a large Kosher section and normally has more options for vegans and vegetarians.
