Hey guys! I’ve been considering getting a meal plan. But I am a vegan. I don’t know how many options exist for us at dinning halls but I wanted to know if it would be a good idea or a waste of money.
Both Gator Dining and Broward Dining have a selection of vegan-friendly food daily. However, the meal plan is costly and the food at the dining halls isn’t great. I’m on the meal plan right now but as soon as fall starts up in getting off of it. You can still pay to go into the dining hall on occasion, and buy your own food where ever. I find myself using my flex bucks for everything and never taking advantage of my unlimited swipes. It would be a lot cheaper on your parents to just go the route of declining balance or just giving you money for food.
Can’t speak to the vegan issue but I have seen a number of parents on the UF families page say that they are doing the declining balance option (especially parents of girls).
We are doing unlimited meal plan but we have a son who eats constantly.
