Oxford Dining

• All Oxford Dining facilities are cashless, so please plan accordingly.
• Regardless of location, all Oxford Dining menus are peanut, tree nut, and shellfish-free. 
• Oxford College has three dining locations: the Oxford Café (Dining Hall), Oxford Family Kitchen(OFK), and Oxpresso.
  • Oxford Café is the residential dining hall at Oxford College. The dining hall serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, Monday through Friday, and brunch, lunch, and dinner on the weekends and holidays that fall during the academic year, such as Labor Day.
    • Stations include Classics offering a different hot entrée each day, Herbivore which features our vegan and vegetarian fare, and the Grill which offers things like burgers, grilled chicken, hot dogs, and French fries. In addition, there is a made-to-order deli, an expansive double-sided self-serve salad bar, hand-tossed brick-oven pizza, self-serve pasta, and soups as well as desserts which are available all day.
    • Food removed from the premises is limited to one piece of hand fruit or another hand-held dessert item.
  • Oxpresso, located in the Oxford library, offers grab-and-go breakfast and carry-out lunch options. Oxpresso is our campus coffee house and serves drip coffees, expresso drinks, breakfast sandwiches, and pastries all day as you’d expect, but they also have a lot of unexpected items.
    • Oxpresso offers fresh sushi daily, in addition to sandwiches and salads and they have a wide selection of specially selected international snacks available.
    • Students can use a residential meal swipe to purchase breakfast from Oxpresso daily until 10:00 am.
  • Oxford Family Kitchen, or OFK, located next to the bookstore in the Oxford Student Center, is our primary retail location. OFK’s menu varies from rice bowls to chicken sandwiches and they offer weekly specials that span the globe from Pho bowls to Tacos to Chicken Wing Wednesdays.
    • Open until 10 pm Sunday-Thursday, OFK provides Oxford’s community a healthy late-night meal option well after the dining hall has closed.
    • Students can use a residential meal swipe to purchase lunch from OFK Monday-Friday until 2 pm.
  • Friday Night Bites is an exciting new retail concept that will primarily be located inside the Student Center but may be offered outside on the patio or even out on the Quad.  Each Friday there will be a different food concept offered - think food truck - but without the truck!  Food will be offered while supplies last, so come early!
    • Open Friday 4 pm - 8 pm, while classes are in session, Dooley Dollars only

Residential students at Oxford College are required to select an Oxford dining plan. We want our students to focus on the college experience and not on where their next meal will come from. Studies have shown that when students go hungry, they lose their ability to focus in class, retain knowledge from studying, complete assignments effectively, or perform well during tests. The impact of food insecurity on health and academic performance is long-lasting, affecting students during their college years, as well as after graduation.

• There are four Oxford dining plans offered (see chart below), however, all first-year students will be assigned Oxford Plan A.
• All prices and criteria are on a per-semester basis.
