Mark Clark Hall

There is more to cadet life than going classes and attending PT with your company! The Citadel provides cadets with a wholistic and well-rounded variety of opportunities, from athletics, clubs, organizations and more!

Within the Mess Hall, students are served a wide variety of fresh, scratch-made recipes, from home-style and low-country favorites, to more global, on-trend flavor profiles. Fresh and wholesome meals are prepared by culinary experts, using locally sourced products wherever possible. The Mess Hall serves 100% sustainably sourced seafood, and ethically sourced meats, poultry, eggs and coffee. A variety of special themed meals take place throughout the academic year to engage the students, introduce them to new international cuisines, and foster a heightened sense of community. Those who prefer alternative proteins can feel confident they are receiving ample nutrition with the dedicated station vegan and vegetarian station.

Retail dining offers cadets, evening and graduate students, and faculty and staff variety, flavor and convenience. Whether it’s a nutrient-packed salad or sandwich at Fresh Kitchen, an iconic Chick-fil-A sandwich on the way to class, or a quiet, hot meal in Bond Café, The Citadel Dining Services offers something for everyone.

The entire first floor of Coward Hall consists of the dining area, or “mess hall” as the cadets call it, that serves the entire Corps of Cadets for family-style meals after each mandatory breakfast and lunch formation.
