What Students Are Saying

The food and dinning facility was extremely clean.
Tyler from Minneola, FL
A Starbucks located in the IST (the main school building) is very convenient for surviving those dreaded morning classes and the Wellness Center with its quickstop lunch area as well as buffet are decent enough, if somewhat limited in selection. There's also another Starbucks in the Wellness Center. The dining staff is very nice.
Isabel from Cooper City, FL
There are two separate styles of dining in the wellness center. A buffet style dinning option along with a grill and substation. No matter what you choose the food is awesome!
Makala from Polk City, FL
Not too crowded
Brittany from Auburndale, FL
I really can't comment on the food. July is the first time I will be able to try it! However, in Lakeland there are restaurants galore so that no matter what type of food you like, Italian, Mexican, Chinese, or American, you will be satisfied.
Future Student
There is a huge array of dining opportunities outside of the university, and there is a Publix nearby.
Veronica from Land o Lakes, FL
The food at Florida Polytechnic University is amazing. The cooks there are incredibly talented and kind. They make their own food there and the food is very high quality. The burgers actually taste like real beef, the pizza is better than any restaurant that I have been to, and the vegetarian food there is healthy and delicious.
Nigel from Lakeland, FL
There's a few different options for food. A sub place, a grill, then a buffet/cafeteria style. The food is actually really tasty and there are a lot of options in the cafeteria area. Meal options change daily, offering a lot of variety for a lot of different types of eaters.
Guest from Poly City
The dining facility is brand new as well. Again, the facility is very nice and a large variety of food is offered from healthy sandwiches to loaded tacos on Wednesday.
Gabriela from Rockledge, FL
Food and dining is nice; 15 minutes from a Publix too.
