Occidental’s dining program is known for its variety, quality, and commitment to sustainability.

Occidental’s Campus Dining team prepares all meals on campus, using fresh, locally sourced ingredients and offering a wide range of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Our dining services also emphasize environmental responsibility through sustainable sourcing and waste-reduction practices.

Meal Plan Overview

If you live in a residence hall, you’re required to purchase a meal plan. Students living in other College-owned houses—or off campus—may also choose to purchase a plan for added flexibility.
Meal plans can be used at any of Occidental’s dining locations:

  • The Marketplace – cafeteria-style dining with daily rotating menus
  • Tiger Cooler – fast-casual café with grab-and-go options
  • Berkus Hall Saturday Dinner – weekend community meals
  • The Green Bean – student-run coffee shop featuring locally roasted coffee and snacks

Select Your Meal Plan

Compare available plans to decide which option best fits your schedule and dining preferences. Once you’re ready, submit your selection online.

NOTE: Meal plan selection will begin in December for new students transferring in Spring 2027.
