Campus cravings: exploring the top Uber Eats meals at universities

University life is a whirlwind adventure, from late-night study sessions to gamedays and so much in between. What’s fueling that adventure? Food! 

Thanks to partnerships with Uber for Business, campuses nationwide offer access to a wide range of nutritious dining options for their students, faculty, and staff. Higher education institutions can create monthly meal stipends or cover the cost of a single meal with redeemable vouchers for any or all of these groups, who can then choose from thousands of merchants available on the Uber Eats app.  

From quick, enriching meals for student athletes to dinnertime rescues after dining hall hours, Uber has campus communities covered. Let’s check out some of the most popular Uber Eats meals delivered to our partners’ campuses.

When it comes to a healthy and satisfying meal, few things can beat a burrito bowl. Packed with fresh greens, grains, and lean proteins, these bowls are consistently the top choice for students looking for energy, essential nutrients, and a balanced diet. They’re also ideal for post-practice meals for athletes—it’s no wonder they’re the number one meal across partner campuses.

Refreshing seafood and proteins? Check. Nutrient-loaded greens, veggies, fruits? Double check. Fresh, flavorful meal? Triple check. A midday combo of salmon, mango, avocado, and rice is perfect for faculty on the go, lunch-and-learns, departmental meetings, orientations, trainings, on-sites, and more. Plus, seamless delivery with Uber Eats keeps everyone on schedule and ready to tackle the rest of the day. 

More than just a meal, wing combos are a social staple. Ideal for study breaks, student org retreats, and campus activities, these sauced-up combos help build connections, create lasting memories, and fuel fun. 

Grueling late-night study sessions? A delicious sub can be the perfect pick-me-up. Handheld and easy to customize with fresh veggies, cheeses, and meats, these subs keep students across campuses energized through exam week and quickly become an easy favorite. 

Build-your-own plates are a hit with medical students and trainees. Grilled proteins pair perfectly with roasted vegetables, grains, greens, and prepared salads and dips. The flexibility to customize and get speedy late-night delivery helps ensure a balanced, satisfying meal ideal for the long hours of clinical rotations.

A superfood powerhouse and fan favorite, these bowls pack essential micronutrients and antioxidants into a naturally sweet (and colorful) meal. To offer an unforgettable virtual experience, some institutions provide Uber Eats vouchers, allowing attendees of online panels, conferences, and webinars to enjoy refreshing bowls like these from the comfort of their home. 

Opting for classic chicken tikka masala, vegetarian paneer, or other items with aromatic Indian spices and rich sauces ensures that every bite is a winner. Warm and comforting, these meals are an ideal choice for resident assistants on duty nights or dorm staff covering emergency shifts. 

Who doesn’t love a bagel before (or after) class? Smoked salmon and cream cheese on a bagel offers a balanced mix of protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates. For students in a hurry, faculty on the go, or breakfast meetings with donors or alumni, lox bagels are a convenient and popular choice.
