Dining and Meal Plans
All students must have either an AVI/College meal plan or an OSCA meal plan, unless they have an approved dining exemption or disability accommodation.
College Dining
Oberlin has a contract with AVI Foodsystems to operate the dining halls on campus. AVI is an on-site restaurant company that provides café and catering services to the college. It is especially committed to cooking with fresh seasonal ingredients in an environmentally sustainable fashion. AVI is committed to providing the best services to Oberlin students.
Visit the AVI website to find information about places to eat, and hours of operation, and check out available menus.
OSCA Dining
OSCA is a student-owned and student-operated nonprofit corporation that provides at-cost dining services to nearly a quarter of the student body. As an independent nonprofit organization, OSCA is entirely separate from Oberlin College, but all OSCA member-owners are Oberlin College students.
Each member of OSCA contributes a certain number of hours of work to their respective co-op each week. Members are in charge of almost every task, including food purchasing, cooking, cleaning, coordinating work charts, enforcing food safety, sitting on the Board of Directors, and more.
