Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

FIT has one cafeteria that offers typical college food (such as pizza, deli sandwiches, fast food-type meals, and a hot bar), which can potentially lead to a possible Freshman 15 if students are not careful. There are also other options, such as sushi, soup and salad bars, and several pre-packaged foods. Students have a choice between the meals-per-week plans (9, 14, and 19) and the Freedom plan. The Freedom plan serves as a declining balance, allowing the student to pick what he or she wants without having to follow the meal guidelines. Each meal plan includes an additional declining balance fund.

Some students have complained about the hours of the cafeteria; they are not as accommodating as students would like them to be. There are several cheap options outside of the cafeteria that students tend to flock to if necessary.

The Same Old Story

The quality of food is perfect but you cannot expect much variety in a campus dining area.

Not Worth Your Money

The cafeteria food is extremely overpriced for the quality of food they serve, you are pretty much paying premium for convenience, not for food quality. I recommend going to the nearby Whole Foods where for the same amount of money you can get a much more nutritious and better quality meal.

Eh

The cafeteria on campus is okay. It's not the worst, but it is really the only option for on campus dining with the exception of vending machines and a small cafe with pre-packaged sandwiches. As a commuter, I wasn't able to get a meal plan which was okay because there are TONS of places to eat nearby.
