Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Dining on campus offers many options, and only organic items are used, but the prices reflect the quality. However, some say it’s worth it. Since USF is a relatively small school, there are only a handful of places to eat, and one company—Bon Appetit—handles every single food-related franchise on campus. The main cafeteria is the Market, located in the University Center at the heart of campus, which means it is insanely crowded at lunch and dinner time. Unfortunately, all of the dining services on campus close at abnormal hours. There is a grocery/café called the Wolf and Kettle up on Lone Mountain, which many students like as an alternative to the normal prepared food in the cafeteria.

Most students complain about the food on campus, but the reality is that dissatisfaction comes from repetition. Expect to get sick of dining hall food, no matter what school you go to. Fortunately, San Francisco has a million excellent restaurants, so you can always take a break from campus dining and check out the latest taqueria or bistro. Here’s one last bit of advice: The meal plan at USF is a declining balance, which means most people spend all of their money at the beginning of the semester. Be sure to ration a weekly amount and stick to it!

Okay, but Minimal Options

The cafeteria food is decent, but it's definitely overpriced and it's the same thing every week. It's easy to get tired of it and there's a lack of variety and quality in basic foods that any college should have (i.e. eggs, pasta, etc.). Additionally, the hours of the cafeteria and Outtakes are terrible. They need to be often far more often for students.

Good Meal Plan, Bad Variety

Since USF is a small school there is only one big cafeteria and two little market like dining options. The way the meal plan works is excellent since you just pay for each thing you want to eat (opposed to a certain number of swipes or meals). The bad part is there is little variety. Lunch is pretty decent since there is the salad station, sandwich station, salad bar, specials, but by dinner all you have left is pizza, burritos and food from the grill. It sucks if you are living on campus because the food gets tiring really fast. There also aren't that many healthy/vegan/vegetarian options for a school in the heart of San Francisco.

USF Dining

The cafe is definitely over priced and the options run low after a few months. However, their food is quality and for the most part decent.
