Food Services

Nourishing your mind may be one of Oakton's greatest priorities, but that doesn't mean we stop there. Our cafeterias on Des Plaines and Skokie campuses provide the balanced nutrition you need to stay on top of your studies. Drop by for breakfast before that English exam, enjoy lunch after a long morning of lectures, or just stop in for a snack to keep you going.
