On-Campus Dining

Ashland University offers a variety of dining spaces designed to fit every schedule and appetite. Whether you’re looking for a quick snack between classes or a comfortable place to gather with friends, each location provides its own unique atmosphere and menu options.

For full-service dining, the Convocation Center—known as the “Convo”—provides a variety of meal options in a buffet-style format. It’s the central dining hall on campus, offering daily selections that include hot entrees, fresh salads, vegetarian options and desserts. The open layout and friendly atmosphere make it a gathering place for the entire campus community.

The Eagles’ Nest, located in the Student Center, is a popular spot for students to eat, study and connect. It offers a mix of grab-and-go options, fresh produce, a salad bar, hot meals from the grill and made-to-order deli sandwiches. Students can also enjoy self-serve or brewed Crimson Cup coffee and a wide selection of convenience items. With plenty of seating and a relaxed environment, it’s a favorite place for both solo study sessions and group hangouts.

The Lyceum Café, located on the first floor of Archer Library, features a bright, modern space perfect for studying, meeting with classmates or taking a break from coursework. Open to students, faculty, staff and the Ashland community, it offers coffee, snacks and light fare in a comfortable, inviting setting.

Located inside the Recreation Center, Tuffy’s Smoothie Bar offers a fresh selection of smoothies and protein drinks made to order. Each month, Tuffy’s hosts a smoothie contest where customers and employees can submit their own recipes for a chance to be featured on the menu. The fun, interactive approach makes it a favorite stop for students looking to refuel after a workout or grab a healthy treat on the go.
