UAF offers six different meal plans for Fairbanks residential and commuter students. Students can choose from plans ranging from 75 meals per semester to an unlimited number of meals per semester. Breakfast is served at Wood Center Food Court, while lunch and dinner, as well as brunch on the weekend, is served at Lola Tilly Commons.
Meals are served "all you care to eat" style. Options at Lola Tilly Commons include a large salad bar, soup station, pasta station, pizza station, grilled items and daily specials, sandwich bar, vegan and vegetarian dishes, and an ice cream and dessert station. Lola Tilly Commons is located on lower campus in front of McIntosh, Nerland, and Stevens halls. The commons is closed during the winter and spring breaks.
