Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The overiding sentiment about the food options at UPS is quality, not diversity, but this is not to say that students are stuck eating the same foods everyday. There are Mexican, vegetarian and vegan, Italian, Asian, and American foods available in the numerous campus eateries, so any specific taste or craving has a pretty good chance of being satisfied. In spite of the variety, the choices that each of the venues offer can get old to campus veterans, leaving some of the older students frustrated. To thwart this, Dining Services makes an effort to provide seasonal changes such as different fruits and holiday-themed dinners and desserts in December and other months.

The meal plan at UPS consists of a “point” system where each student’s ID card works like a debit card. People typically put points (money) on their card at the beginning of the semester, but more can be added at any time. Every food item is assigned a price in points, and points are deducted for whatever you choose to get. This allows students to eat whenever they want without the constraints of a lunch or dinner hour in a meals-per-week system. Visitors and students without a meal plan can purchase food with cash, but it is cheaper to buy food with points. The meal plan points work at all of the campus dining venues. Most students are pleased with the meal plan and say that compared to other schools, the cheap food prices are great and help students get the most out of their meals.

Best College Dining in the Country... for a Week

The food is very good but it does get repetitive. However they do make good food during prospective student weeks which take place almost once a month during the spring semester.

Like a Debit Card

I wish we were able to use our Puget Sound IDs at local markets and restaurants like the MET and Rosewood.

The Sub

The sub is the main area to get food. They have really stepped it up this year in terms of providing many different options daily in many different ethnic foods.
