Return to Top Tawanka Commons Tawanka Commons is the building that is home to a number of eating options. In the tunnel between Streeter and Morrison halls is the Morris Street Caf . Meals at Eastern are paid for with cash or by using points through one of two dining plans. Each plan is prepaid at the beginning of a quarter, giving you a preset number of points to spend on food during the quarter. Campus cash registers scan your student ID and subtract the point value of each meal.
Points are safer than carrying cash and it's also easier to stay on budget using points.
A printout of where and when you spent your points is available any time. The earlier you apply for on-campus housing, the better your chances are for getting the room assignment you prefer. If we receive your application before June 20, you will receive your room assignment by early July. After June 20, expect to wait at least one month before receiving your room assignment. When you get your room assignment, you'll receive your roommate's name and address, so you can get acquainted with him or her over the summer.
