Our dining staff is dedicated to serving a wide variety of fresh, (locally sourced) food, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options.
Meals on campus are managed and produced by Occidental’s own Campus Dining. Not only is the food delicious, with a wide variety of fresh, locally sourced food—including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options—but our dining services are also environmentally friendly and sustainable.
If you live in a residence hall, you are required to purchase a meal plan. Students living in other Occidental houses (or nearby in non-Oxy housing), may also purchase a plan. The meal plans can be used at any of the campus’ four dining facilities: the cafeteria-style Marketplace, the fast-casual Tiger Cooler cafe, the Berkus Hall Saturday Dinner, and the student-run Green Bean coffee shop. If you have special dietary needs, you can read up on our campus dining nutrition guides to familiarize yourself with our options and policies.
The meal plan form will open July 1. Compare meal plans to determine which one is right for you! The final deadline to make a selection is August 31.
