    I happen to love the food here at Eckerd. We also have plenty of options for where to eat. I like the ambiance of the Pub for quick meals and having later evening munchies with friends.

    The food at Eckerd is pretty bland and gets really boring very quickly. The options for vegetarians is very little. I am considering the idea of discontinuing the meal plan.

    The food is ok. It is certainly not unbearable but it is not fancy cuisine. Fortunately, our students are very good at getting what they want and we are currently working towards better food options.

    There are three options for dining on campus. There is a main cafeteria by the main dormitories, a pub in the middle of campus, and a cafeteria over by the two dorms that are so far separated from everything else. The food, no matter where one goes, is of delicious quality. There are always many choices, and alternative options for those looking for a healthier diet.

    There is a wide variety of food including food for vegetarians at the cafeteria. Hours at the cafeteria are decent, workers are friendly, its kept very clean, and have outdoor eating areas.

  • Dec-07-2012 I am researching this school and have visited the campus

    They have many restaurants on campus. their meal plans are good too because each person gets blocks. these blocks get you a try that you can load up as much as you want for one block.
