What Students Are Saying

The food on this campus is really. good. I highly recommend going to the red plate food station in the hawk dining facility on campus.
Joseph from Ashland, OR
Wide variety of food. There's the dining commons which is near the Greensprings, Shasta, and Mcloughlin buildings that has 6 different food stations to eat from. In the Hawk (dining commons) there is a little food store called the landing with quite a variety of foods.

In the Stevenson Union there is also another area to eat which sells coffee and bagels and so does the Hannon Library.

Don't feel like eating on campus? Don't worry! Ashland is filled with different types of restaurants, ranging from typical fast food like Taco Bell or Wendy's to formal restaurants like Pie + Vine downtown.
Beatriz from Yreka, CA
New dining halls were just put in this year and all o the food is great! It's cooked right there in the dining hall fresh every day and there's several different options to choose from. In one room, you have a burger place, stir-fry, pizza and pasta, salad, sandwiches, dessert, and several different shops around campus where you can buy food as well. I've taken to having breakfast at the library coffee shop.
Laura from Wilsonville, OR
The food is quite decent! And cheap. The student union has many options. I often eat there for lunch for under $5.
Savel from Talent, OR
