The dining halls on campus are delicious and meal plans are not over-priced. The Suwanee dining hall is what they modeled the dining hall in Harry Potter off of. Needless to say, it's remarkable gorgeous.

DO NOT GET A MEAL PLAN IF YOU DON'T NEED ONE. It is simply not worth it, you can spend that $2,000 on a lot of other things.

If you don't think you can regulate your own meals and like to eat a lot, the dining halls are useful, but honestly it's easier to save your money and buy food at a grocery store.

I love me some Fresh Food! People say that the food at Suwanee is great only on days that they know there will be people visiting, but I've never had a problem with it.

Love the dining!! But watch out for that freshman fifteen; if you sign up for a meal plan with flexbucks (FSU bucks) you can use them at Chili's, Einstein Bagels, Papa Johns Pizza, Subway, Freshen's, Salad Creations, etc! I also enjoyed the dining halls Fresh Foods and Suwanee!

The dining halls at FSu are amazing in every aspect, ranging from the food to the architecture of the buildings. Off campus food palces also offer a wide range of variety and most are open late.
