July 1 - Dining Services

The Welcome Pack is a weekly newsletter featuring important information and resources to help you prepare for your first year at Loyola.

Your dining experience with us is about more than just great food. It's a community experience centered on culinary expertise, fresh ingredients, healthy options, and a shared sense of environmental and social responsibility. 

What's Cookin' on Campus

While you're busy learning on campus, you can take advantage of the great food options available to students. We also offer mobile ordering to-go options that will be available on Grubhub.

Choose from favorites like:

• Loyola's Orleans Room (aka "The O.R.")
• Starbucks
• Jimmy John's
• Smoothie King
• Chick-fil-A
• The Market

Check out the hours of operation and details on our dining website, and follow us on Instagram @loynodining to see what we're cooking!

Choose Your Meal Plan

All incoming undergraduate students are required to have a meal plan, and Loyola Dining Services provides several meal plan options to meet each student's tastes. 

• Dining plan options for first-year students include a combination of weekly meals that must be used each week and flex meals that can be used at any point over the course of the semester.
• All plans also include Wolf Bucks, a declining balance on your account that can be used for food purchases and snacks at campus dining locations.
• You can change your meal plan without penalty within the first two weeks of the fall and spring semesters.

If you need to talk through any meal plan questions and changes, please contact us!

Care for the Whole Student Panel Discussion

At Loyola, we want to set you up for success both inside and outside of the classroom. We invite you to join us for a virtual panel discussion to learn about holistic programs and support services available through the Office of Student Affairs and Pan-American Life Student Success Center. We will also discuss common scenarios students may face in their first year on campus and tips to navigate these situations. Choose from two sessions:
