Yes, the FSUCard’s FSUCash can be loaded to be used for laundry, printing, and food on campus. I think the only way you can’t use FSUCash is to pay your bills such as tuition or housing.

There really isn’t much downside to using it vs. GarnetBucks or depositing money in your daughter’s bank account. If you go that route your daughter will probably have to remember to tell wherever she eats to charge the FSUCash balance, or else she might be told there isn’t any money on there when there is (by default, it seems Aramark’s on-campus places are trained to swipe FlexBucks because that’s the most popular).

There really aren’t too many down sides to using FSUCash instead. The biggest one I can think of is that carrying a large cash balance on the card can be a risk, if she ever loses her ID, since it can take a couple days to transfer everything over to the new card, so she might be without that money for a couple days. That’s really the biggest risk.
