Off-Campus Places to Use Flex Money
Some local restaurants will give discounts to UF students (up to 20 percent) on certain days of the week-don't forget your student ID!
Special Options
On weekday afternoons at the Plaza of the Americas, members of Gainesville's large Hare Krishna population serve up a vegan and vegetarian feast, which is very popular. Technically, it's free, but they ask for a $4 donation.
Did You Know?
If you have the "Declining Balance" meal plan, the money you do not spend at restaurants rolls over to the next semester instead of Flex Bucks that come with the standard-fixed cost meal plan. Flex Bucks do not roll over, so if you are stuck with $45 on the last day of the semester, buy your friends some food!
