I know this post is getting old and you’ve likely already made your decision, but I wanted to throw in my experience in case anyone else reads this. I had a meal plan my freshman year and hated it. By the end of fall semester, you get really sick of the food. The quality declines sharply when the school isn’t showing off to parents. I did anything I could to avoid Suwannee. It’s hard to get fresh fruit and vegetables. Lines can be very long. They run out of things. There are limited options. I would often hit the period where they were between lunch and dinner and my only options were pizza or salad. The hours are also very restrictive. If you have to get a meal plan because of your dorm, get the cheapest one and make up the rest with cash, not even garnet bucks. You don’t get a discount with garnet bucks at campus restaurants except dining halls.
