Meal Plan Selection & Prices
Stetson University Dining Services knows the hectic life of a college student. It can be difficult to squeeze in a proper meal between classes and activities, but we're here to help. Our dining locations are near the residence halls and classrooms with hours that are convenient for our students. We understand that each student has different needs and eating habits. We have implemented a food nutrition analysis program, are offering more low-fat, vegetarian and vegan meals, created more flexibility with meal plans, and continue to maintain the highest level of quality food and customer service.
About Our Meal Plans
Stetson University Dining Services has several different meal plan options to best fit our students dining habits. When choosing a plan, it is important to remember factors like class schedule and eating habits (especially frequency and quantity). Plans will begin on the first day of classes and will end at final exams in each semester. There will be dates when meal plans are not in effect (nor will you be charged for them), such as holidays, which will be posted on the Dining Services website.
