On-Campus Dining
There are dozens of on-campus dining options at the University of Arizona, for everything from grab-and-go snacks between classes to restaurants where you can eat with friends. All are health-forward, with a focus on nutrition and whole ingredients. Many restaurants offer plant-based options, and menus are transparent, so food allergies are always considered. Wildcats can choose a meal plan that works best for them, including a debit- and swipe-based meal plan.
